Altered Carbon
An excellently written scifi-detective novel.
The prose is perfectly descriptive without trying too hard as can often happen with those trying to make their scifi really scifi. RKM easily spins back stories, subplots and cultural literacy so naturally, you feel like you’ve been a part of his universe all your life and that this is the 20th book he’s written, not the first. Both the violence, torture and sex, all subjects difficult to write (and read) seriously without being dull or deliberately shocking, are nicely described while maintaining a newness factor.
I think I’m going to be reading a lot more by RKM.
Rating: 5/5
