![]() ![]() ![]() It's not a major point of the story (this is not debbie does sci-fi), but it is integral to intereactions of a few characters and it shows the mentality of people who have many different versions of reality and the culture they are in. OK, for those who do not like sex in their reading leave NOW. This is not high art, but it is darn good listening. The ending has a twisted nobility that I found appealing. The writing is colorful and interesting and the plot moves along wihtout undue burdening by explantion of the science, politics and culutres involved. If you like plenty of violence and strange machinations, read this novel. With more plot twists than a tub full of snakes, the story unfolds complete with some of the nastiest villans around. ![]() So Kovacs, who is disliked by almost everyone in the novel, is called by a rich man, who believes his suicide was murder. When people die in this future, except for Catholics, they can be brought back in another body if their device (called a stack) is not destroyed. The hero, Takashi Kovacs, is a detective (of sorts). Sex, violence and drugs become a strange brew in this futuristic novel with the premise that what we are can be contained in a small device implanted into any body. ![]()
