In the twenty-fifth century, death is no longer permanent. If you can pay for it, your consciousness can be downloaded into a new body, and you can live again. Over and over.
Takeshi Kovacs has died before. But this time, his mind is sent 180 light-years from home and dropped into a borrowed body in Bay City, where the rich play god and the poor just try to stay uploaded.
Hired to solve a murder that was already ruled a suicide, Kovacs uncovers a conspiracy that reaches far beyond one dead man. The deeper he digs, the more bodies fall—and not all of them get a second chance.
Altered Carbon is a gritty, cyberpunk noir that blends tech, violence, and philosophy into a future where immortality comes with a price.
