One of the few books i have read and i couldn't believe when they announced it was being adapted into a TV series. Basically it's set in a future were personality/memories can be stored digitally in cortical stacks placed in your upper spine. This allows you to be downloaded into another body (resleeved) if necessary.
Plot revolves around the suspected suicide of Laurens Bancroft, whose cortical stack was damaged in the process meaning he has to use a backup to resleeve. As the last backup was 48 hours before his death he hires a private detective, Takeshi Kovacs, to investigate what he believes was murder.
Filming has been underway for quite some time now (Nov' 2016) and apparently has a budget is $7 million per episode. To make it even more exciting, Miguel Sapochnik (Hardhome/Battle of the bastards/Winds of Winter) is directing the first episode.
Some serious potential for this one folks and can't wait to see if it delivers. Initially it was due to be released end of 2017, but looks like it has been pushed back to early 2018. Get hyped!
