Resumen del Editor
Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched 180 light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats "existence" as something that can be bought and sold. For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"This far-future hard-boiled detective story is a lovely virtual-reality romp." (Booklist)
"Fast-paced, densely textured, impressive....Morgan's 25th-century Earth is convincing, while the questions he poses about how much Self is tied to body chemistry and how the rich believe themselves above the law are especially timely." (Publishers Weekly)
Featured Article: The Best Sci-Fi Book-to-Film/TV Adaptations
Beyond raising fascinating possibilities, the best works of science fiction ask big questions: What does it mean to be human? What will the future look like? What mysteries does the universe hold, and what do they mean for life on Earth? Whether you choose to escape via audiobook, movie, or television, these science fiction stories are truly out of this world—in all their incarnations.

Historia
Marsalis is one of a new breed...literally. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government to embody the naked aggression and primal survival skills that centuries of civilization have erased from humankind, Thirteens were intended to be the ultimate military fighting force. The project was scuttled, however, when a fearful public branded the supersoldiers dangerous mutants, dooming the Thirteens to forced exile on Earth's distant, desolate Mars colony. But Marsalis found a way to slip back.

NYPD detective Paul Donner and his wife Elise were killed in a hold-up gone wrong. Fifty years later, Donner is back: revived courtesy of the Shift. Supposedly the unintended side-effect of a botched biological terrorist attack and carried by a ubiquitous retrovirus, the Shift jump-starts dead DNA and throws the life cycle into reverse, so reborns like Donner must cope with the fact that they are not only slowly youthing toward a new childhood, but have become New York's most hated minority.

The overwhelming brute force of the Prador dreadnaughts causes several worlds and space stations to be overrun. Prador Moon follows the initial Polity defeats, to the first draws, and culminates in what might be the first Polity victory, told from the point of view of two unlikely heroes.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

It may seem like a good ghostbuster can charge what he likes and enjoy a hell of a lifestyle, but there's a risk: sooner or later he's going to take on a spirit that's too strong for him. When Castor accepts a seemingly simple ghost-hunting case at a museum in the shadowy heart of London, what should have been a perfectly straightforward exorcism is rapidly turning into the Who Can Kill Castor First Show, with demons and ghosts all keen to claim the big prize.

Historia
Dans un avenir pas si lointain, la mort n'est plus définitive : vous pouvez sauvegarder votre conscience et vos souvenirs et les réimplanter dans un nouveau corps. De fait, pour Takeshi Kovacs, mourir n'est plus qu'un accident de parcours : il a déjà été tué plusieurs fois. C'étaient les risques du métier dans les Corps diplomatiques, les troupes d'élite du Protectorat des Nations unies expédiées à travers la galaxie. Mais cette fois, on le ramène sur Terre pour mener l'enquête : un riche magnat veut élucider sa propre mort. La police a conclu au suicide.

Good story with a few unpleasant suprises.
The human civilization which Mr. Morgan paints in his trilogy is an intriguing place. While the concept of moving personalities body to body is not new, the way he approaches the subject matter is interesting, as are the underlying moral issues that are touched around the edges. I found myself thinking of the film noir genre, complete with the world weary detective who has nothing left but the job. The two jarring notes are the narrator, who makes a valiant effort to characterize, but falls short. The second are the graphic, nearly pornographic sex scenes. While the sex is not gratuitous, the graphic detail using the vulgar speech is jarring in the flow of the novel.

Everything to love about gritty sci-fi
Very gritty hard-boiled film noir sci-fi.
Todd McLaren's voice has a good vocal range for this book. Strong storyline, and creative ideas about the stacks.
A very convincing futuristic world, and the psychology behind each character is believable, and interesting.

Audio recording quality on this book is poor
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
This was an okay book for me. I enjoyed the noir feel to it combined with the scifi, but overall I gave it only 3 stars.
What didn’t you like about Todd McLaren’s performance?
I liked Todd's voice acting, but there were some significant problems with the recording.
Any additional comments?
This book was difficult to listen to. While the voice actor seemed to do a good job of narrating the story, the volume level was all over the map. I had to regularly turn the volume up and down. Also, it was sometimes hard to understand what the narrator was saying, as if he wasn't articulating his consonants clearly enough. However, this may have been a microphone problem or technical issue.

Creative plot; writing could have been better
Enjoyed the plot. The writing sometimes became trite. Foul language and sex scenes didn't add to the story.

Would you listen to Altered Carbon again? Why?
yes, I'll keep on my i touch and recommend
What about Todd McLaren???s performance did you like?
narration was very good - even though only one voice - nuances in the tone and delivery kept the story lively and interesting.

I actually liked the TV series better.
For the first time I actually liked the TV adaptation better than the book. I found Morgan's writing style a bit hard to follow. He is overly descriptive of complete minutiae and by the time he is done describing something completely irrelevant to the story you lose track of what the hell is going on. This might be OK reading in text, but in an audiobook, it made me actually tune out and have to rewind often to just figure out what was going on. The narration was good although McLaren really needs to work on his female voices and "screaming" which sounded more like a hoarse whisper.

Don't expect it to wait for you to catch up.
Where does Altered Carbon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Altered Carbon is different than most of the books I've listened to so far combining a futuristic view of humanity while still maintaining the age old faults and vices. For me it was a nice listen for three main reasons: 1. I couldn't always predict where the story was leading 2. when you were introduced with something that seemed insubstantial, it would rear it's head later being an integral part of the story and 3. despite it's grimy beginning, Takeshi Kovacs seemed to have some redeeming qualities after all.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There is only one character (Kovacs) to really appreciate here as a favorite while other characters were interesting in their detail.
Have you listened to any of Todd McLaren’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to Altered Carbon and Broken Angels. Todd's narration spoiled me for when I listened to the third book, Woken Furies, it was hard to stay interested in the story missing the narrator from the previous two books.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reaction just a continued level of interest throughout.
Any additional comments?
Well worth the listen in my opinion but be warned, some of the sex scenes are very graphic but still didn't take away from the overall story.

Dystopian future described brilliantly.
Loved Richard Morgan's vision of how our future could unfold. Rich characters, twists and turns, and great attention to details...
