Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
Sep 23 2007, 9:25 PM EDT
Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan was published in 2002 and a sequal has been released as well. The book is about a man named Takeshi Kovacs who lives 500 years from now on a planet named Harlan's World. The United Nations has grown to consume the galaxy and the nanotechnology, computer technology, space travel, and everything about the book is amazing. The most fascinating thing about the book to me is that everyone has a chip in the base of their skull that stores their brain. The "stack" as it is called can only be destroyed with lazer weapons and the fact that if you commit a crime they kill your body and put your mind into a computer where it feels as if no time has passed for 200 years does drastic things to the society.
Do you find this valuable?
