Reread: Altered Carbon

 I seem to be on a re-reading spree this year. I got started on Altered Carbon and couldn't help myself but keep reading until I finished it. I enjoyed the Raymond Chandler style, though on this reread Takeshi Kovacs doesn't feel so much like a Philip Marlowe transplant to a much grittier world. The world building and implications of being able to resleeve is still very well done, and the plot while far fetched is still believable. I do wish the Netflix series had been better done or more true to the novel, but if your only exposure to Richard K Morgan's work is through the TV show I want to say the book's much better!
