Review of 'Altered Carbon' on 'Import'

5 stars

I heard about Altered Carbon in a discussion about real-life respawn. I immediately saved the book to my read list.

What I didn't expect was a book which discussed the subject lightly, while still being a great book and keeping me sticked to it 'till the end.

The book is about a future in which humans devise a method to store the human consciousness in an artefact which is implanted in to the base of the brain. With this, when you die, you could possibily be downloaded to a new body.

To anyone who likes the cyberpunk genre, or the philosophical implications of being able to be downloaded to other bodies, a must-read.
