Altered Carbon(Netflix Series)

ALTERED CARBON is set in a future where consciousness is digitized and stored in cortical stacks implanted in the spine, allowing humans to survive physical death by having their memories and consciousness "re-sleeved" into new bodies. The story follows specially trained "Envoy" soldier Takeshi Kovacs, who is downloaded from an off-world prison and into a combat ready sleeve at the behest of Laurens Bancroft, a highly influential aristocrat. Bancroft was killed, and the last automatic backup of his stack was made hours before his death, leaving him with no memory of who killed him and why. While police ruled it a suicide, Bancroft is convinced he was murdered and wants Kovacs to find out the truth.



As a fan of unconventional and quirky science fiction TV shows, I'm accustomed to my expectations being shattered by abrupt cancellations from TV networks. It's not an inaccurate statement. I have jotted down various notes on loose pieces of paper as I watched the show, just to keep track of the characters and their actions. An extraterrestrial-created device named a cortical stack can store a person's memories and consciousness, which is then inserted into the nape of their neck. By transferring their consciousness to different bodies, a person can potentially live indefinitely. Only the wealthy, referred to as Meths, can afford these stacks and the new human bodies, known as sleeves, to house them.
