{"product_id":"9781473223677","title":"Altered Carbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eComing to Netflix in 2018, this must-read story is a confident, action-and-violence packed thriller, and future classic noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning author. Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded into bodies as a matter of course. But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn?t be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society. For a first-time SF writer to be so surely in command of narrative and technology, so brilliant at world-building, so able to write such readable and enjoyable SF adventure, is simply extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Richard+Morgan\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRichard Morgan\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376548298915,"sku":"9781473223677","price":305.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781473223677_b13f3b2a-d1ab-473a-8e9a-7c007daf4b69.jpg?v=1776544428","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781473223677","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
