Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Altered Carbon was very good.
  • I second the Richard Morgan suggestion, and if you don't mind sci-fi would recommend Altered Carbon by him. You won't find many more badass anti-heroes than Takeshi Kovacs.
  • Altered Carbon is good from what I've seen of it. (Half of S1)
  • Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan helped me get into the genre (significantly different than the show)
  • I liked Altered Carbon, I thought it was pretty fun and easy read.

Cons

  • Season 1 of altered carbon is excellent but don't even try season 2
  • Parent context: I recently finished season 1 of Altered carbon and it’s probably my favorite tv series of all time. Reply: You should stop after the first…

Altered Carbon is pretty dang good. Helps to enjoy SF of course, but it's also a hardboiled kinda noir thing.

Ah you have to read Altered Carbon. It will make a sci fi fan out of you. The style is so similar I think you will find it a page turner.
