Altered Carbon by Richard K. MorganMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A marvelous first novel. This review said "If Michael Connelly had put Detective Bosch in space (and cyberspace) he may have ended up with something like Altered Carbon (if he is lucky)", which was a significant selling feature for me, and it lived up to its billing.
Be warned, it's not just a detective novel – it's pretty good high-tech science fiction.
On top of an excellent mystery, great action, and fascinating characters, Morgan takes a thoughtful and thought-provoking look at both interstellar empire and the nature of "self".
