Altered Carbon: Glitch Yarn & Book club, vol. 3
The third read for the Glitch cyberpunk yarn & book club was Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan!
In Richard K. Morgan’s cyberpunk vision of 2384, there’s no longer any worry about that pesky thing we call death - consciousness is easily transferred from one body to a new body. Takeshi Kovacs, an ex-soldier turned investigator, unravels a complex murder mystery in a gritty, futuristic world.
Altered Carbon as yarn splices together vibrant retro neons to echo the guitar icon themed, AI-run hotel The Hendrix, and the Midnight Lamp bar in the hotel.

First up in the post-cyberpunk selections is Infomocracy by Malka Older to bring a little optimism to another awful election year...
