Altered Carbon is an American cyberpunk web television series created by Laeta Kalogridis and based on the 2002 novel of the same title by English author Richard K. Morgan.[1] In a world where consciousness can be transferred to different bodies, Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier turned investigator, must solve a murder. The first season consists of ten episodes and premiered on Netflix on February 2, 2018.[2] On July 27, 2018, the series was renewed for a second season of eight episodes,[3] which was released on February 27, 2020, with an anime film set before the first season released on March 19, 2020. The series received generally positive reviews.
The series takes place over 360 years in the future,[4][5] with most episodes the first season set in the year 2384, in a futuristic metropolis known as Bay City.[6] In the future, a person's memories and consciousness are written onto a disk-shaped device called a cortical stack,
which is implanted in the vertebrae at the back of the neck. These
storage devices are of alien design and have been reverse engineered and
mass-produced but can only be made from the material on Harlan's world.
Physical human or synthetic bodies are called "sleeves" and stacks can
be transferred to new bodies after death, but a person can still be
killed if their stack is destroyed and there is no backup. While this
means anyone can live forever, only the wealthiest, known as "Meths" in
reference to Methuselah,
have the means to change bodies through clones and remote storage of
their consciousness in satellites, so they never have to die of old age
before being resleeved.
Takeshi Kovacs, a political operative with mercenary skills, is
the sole surviving soldier of the Envoys, a rebel group defeated in an
uprising against the new world order.[7]
In the first season, set 250 years after the Envoys are destroyed, his
stack is pulled out of prison by 300-year-old Meth Laurens Bancroft, one
of the wealthiest men in the settled worlds. Bancroft offers him the
chance to solve a murder—Bancroft's own—to get a new shot at life. In
the second season, set 30 years later, Kovacs, now in a new sleeve,
continues to search for his lost love and Envoy leader Quellcrist
Falconer.
