Netflix is making an Altered Carbon TV show
There's a lot of sci-fi out there and it can be hard to find anything with the slighest hint of originality, which is why discovering Richard K Morgan a few years ago was a bit of a revelation. The English teacher-turned-author published his first book in 2002 called Altered Carbon, and I was hooked.
It's a tale set in the far flung future and focussed on Takeshi Kovacs, a person who has lived in many bodies during his work as a special envoy. He's hired to investigate an apparent suicide, something which is practically unheard of in this world where consciousness can easily be shuffled to a fit new body for practical immortality.
