Finished Richard K. Morgan's "Altered Carbon" last night. Amazing book for a first novel, but it certainly won't be on everybody's reading list.
Noir detective novel meets science fiction. Near immortality with the ability to change bodies (sleeves), AI, super drugs, murder, revenge, violence (including torture), and sex. Takeshi Kovacs has his cortical stack (consciousness) restored in a new body to investigate a suicide or maybe murder. Things kind of go down hill from there. Another page turner for me and I'll be taking a look at the second and third books in this series.
