Helpful Score: 1
I really liked this book. In the future, you can download your consciousness to a new "sleeve" (body), which is used to transport people to new worlds (since you are digital, you have no mass -- a nice way to bypass the speed-of-light problem).
The story follows a private detective, Takeshi Kovacs, and his investigation of his wealthy client's death (who had his consciousness backed up nightly). All the clues point to suicide, but the client cannot imagine a motive, since he knows he is backed up nightly.
Good story, great characters, believable science, and a fun ride. Gets a little out-of-control near the end, but it regains control for the ending. I'd recommend to any Sci-Fi reader.
