Philip K. Dick Award for Best Novel

25th century. Humanity rules the entire galaxy under the supervision of the UN. In this period, where race, belief and class differences still persisted, the rise in technology virtually redefined life. A person's consciousness became stored and easily downloadable into a new body (or "case"), and the phenomenon of death was reduced to a beep on a screen.

Although Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier and UN ambassador, had been killed before, his latest death was particularly painful. Waking up in a new body 180 light years away from his home, formerly San Francisco, now Bay City, Kovacs found himself at the center of a dark and large-scale conspiracy, even for a society that sees "existence" as something to be bought and sold. Laurens Bancroft, one of the most powerful men in the world, hired Kovacs to reveal the secret of a death: his own death.

Following in the footsteps of works such as Blade Runner and Neuromancer, Altered Carbon, a cyberpunk genre, is one of the most remarkable science fiction-dystopian novels of recent times.

“The universe of Altered Carbon is original and striking. “It has tremendous characters and a unique mystery.”

- Patrick Rothfuss -

“It's a wonderful job. Excellent science fiction. Modified Carbon makes a very good debut and gradually picks up the pace. A work that is equal parts intriguing and original; "You can't put it down until the last page."

- Peter F. Hamilton -

“A noir noir full of intelligence, a unique fiction and a character whose story you will want to learn with eagerness.”

- Ken McLeod -

“This fast-reading, compelling novel is an intriguing blend of William Gibson's Neuromancer and Norman Spinrad's Deus X.”
