改编自理查德·K·摩根所著的经典赛博朋克风格黑色小说,以 300 多年后的未来为背景,讲述了一个集合谋杀、爱、性和背叛的精彩故事。彼时社会已被一种新技术改变:意识可被数字化、人的身体可以互换、死亡不再是永恒的。武科瓦奇所在的精英星际战士队伍在反对世界新秩序的起义中败北,他成为了其中唯一幸存的士兵。武科瓦奇的大脑在寒冰中封存了数个世纪,直到后来超长寿富豪劳伦斯·班克罗夫特为他提供了一次重生的机会。作为交换,武科瓦奇必须调查一桩谋杀案,解开班克罗夫特本人被杀的谜团。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 the body of a disgraced cop 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.
