Altered Carbon by Richard K. MorganMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Old news for anyone who regularly reads science fiction, this book is certainly in "classic" category. It's the first of three, about a world five hundred years in the future where bodies and minds are entirely separable. This one is brilliant. The other two are less so but still highly readable. Highly creative, unexpected, imaginative stories about a black ops soldier gone rogue. My biggest negative is the sex scenes which at first are good but, after reading all three books, you realize happen with a staged repetitiveness (two per book), perhaps appropriate to the style and mood of the character but the scenes bring the novels down a notch by their predictability.
