À propos de cet audio

 In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched 180 light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats "existence" as something that can be bought and sold. For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This far-future hard-boiled detective story is a lovely virtual-reality romp." (Booklist)
"Fast-paced, densely textured, impressive....Morgan's 25th-century Earth is convincing, while the questions he poses about how much Self is tied to body chemistry and how the rich believe themselves above the law are especially timely." (Publishers Weekly)

the recording quality is rather poor. The mic used by the reader has bass boosted to trap house levels, frankly I wish producer knew about EQ.

it is so bassy that you have to blast the book super loud just to hear the words.

real shame because the story is good, and reader has a good voice.

recording is super bassy

To me I found the writing and dialogue a little weak compared to some of the other books I've been reading, but the world building and SciFi were top notch! I really enjoyed this one. Downloaded the next two books as soon as I finished this one. Hope to see more written in this setting.

Wicked listen

This book has been made into a min-series, need I say more? This has taken Sci-Fi to a new level with its unique look at body sleeves and living forever.... #Audible1

SCI-FI at its best!

Great story, different from the show which has better suspense and intrigue in the writing. Voice acting is unfortunately very flat

Good story, not a great performance

Way better than the show!!!

Not a deeply moving, life altering read but I did not expect that. A very solid and fun sci fi read by someone with a voice for the character. Definitely different than the show but I never expect any book that was a basis for a show to be the same. Personally enjoyed it as a way to get outside my own head and world and travel somewhere else in my minds eye for a bit.

Enjoyable Light Read

They really need to pay for more than one voice. It really impacts the experience.

More narrators please

I loved the book. found the story interesting and inventive, but the audio was a bit weird. at the beginning, I feel like you could hear them cutting together sentences with a weird noise in between the talking. I think it went away as the book went along, and the narrator himself was great.

great book weird audio

I watched the Netflix release before listening to this audio book. I am torn between the two. The stories vary slightly but enough that there was still surprises in the audiobook. I am torn as I can't say I like one completely over the other they both are amazing. The novelization grants us the readers/listeners more detail and even a more refined universe. The story is gripping, dark, very film noir with a sci-fit skeletal structure. Todd McLaren voiced Takeshi perfectly I believed the disembodied voice was Takeshi Kovach.

Torn and Amazed
