Altered Carbon

Its hard to rate this book. I enjoyed the story. The characters were kind of bland, stock noir archetypes. I enjoyed the setting. The future jargon was a bit too far, I was still trying to decipher it by the end of the book. Because of the pace and the high bar set by the future jargon I wasn't reading this as fast as I normally do despite enjoying the book after I stopped reading it.

It is a conundrum. I gave this book 3 stars but really its like 3.7 stars. I will probably read another book set in this universe. I can only imagine it gets easier to parse and becomes more of a ride and less of a puzzle.
