Richard K. Morgan wrote a trilogy series in 2002-2005, Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies. NetFlix has turned the first book into a kickass 10-episode SF series, set mainly in the Dystopian 25th Century, but with flashbacks that explain how our orphaned protagonist Takeshi Kovacs became a CTAC cop, a Marine, an "Envoy" revolutionary/terrorist, and died....then was ressurected as a private investigator two hundred years later in the 25th Century, on old Earth versus his home world.
Altered Carbon is a Neo Noir story in the Dystopian style of Blade Runner, and production values are high, and the material streams in UHD resolution to anybody with a NetFlix account who has a UHD display enabled for that account. The visual quality is right up there with the best ever video made for TV, better than most movies made in the last decade.
The central theme of the three Takashi Kovacs novels (he's a citizen of Harlan's World, of mixed Japanese/Polish ancestry) is the cyber "stacks" implanted at the base of the skull which store a backup copy of your memories. Following death, you can be reborn in a new "sleeve" body. The new sleeves can be artificial silicone, or human clones if you are wealthy enough. For the extremely wealthy, you can upload backup copies of your stack memories to external storage - even offworld storage. Our hero TK is resurrected in the human sleeve of a cop who was condemned to death and executed, to investigate the murder of a rich man ... who hires TK to investigate his murder after his own resurrection from his most recent backup.
There is kick-ass action, violence, and gore. There is enough full nudity and sex that it distracts from the storyline sometimes. But production values remain high throughout all ten episodes, and I reccomend that all NetFlix subscribers watch this. The plot is actually a beast, and even with 10 episodes, there is a lot of plot to follow. I'm hoping for two more seasons from the two additional TK novels, which unlike the present series are military SF and space opera more than noir.
