A convicted killer resurrects in a new body and must solve a complex murder to earn his freedom in a near future where people’s minds can be digitally archived and accessed at any time.
Netflix has created the science fiction show Altered Carbon. It was inspired by Richard K. Morgan’s book of the same name. The story takes place in a near future where “sleeves” allow for the transfer of human mind from one body to another.
Takeshi Kovacs, the protagonist, is a former soldier and prisoner who is recruited by a wealthy man to investigate his own murder after being resleeved into a new body. The show delves with questions of self-awareness, mortality, and the relationship between technology and mankind. Its plot, worldbuilding, and special effects have all been praised by reviewers.
