Altered Carbon

On my first read of this one, I loved it. I read it a second time right before the show came out, and even years later, I still think it's a great modern cyberpunk story. It hits the level of noir and gritty future reality just right. And the metaphorical writing is reminiscent of trying to be like Raymond Chandler, which fits the main character well. What I didn't remember from the first time, and what I found I really enjoyed during the second read, was all the political undertones and Quellist remarks made by various people. I suppose my interest in this has changed in the 12 years between 2006 and 2018, because I live in the United States, and in those years paying attention to revolutionary politics has suddenly become more important.
