Altered Carbon, by Richard K. MorganRead about another book on the list.
A riveting detective story set in a bleak, high-tech future where death has nearly been rendered obsolete. Morgan’s prose is immaculate, and the two sequels are just as fantastic.
Altered Carbon is among Feff Somers's five books that lived up to the hype, Lauren Davis's ten most depressing futuristic retirement scenarios in science fiction and Charlie Jane Anders's top ten science fiction novels that pack more action than most summer movies and top 10 science fiction detective novels of all time.
