It's the twenty-fifth century, and advances in technology have redefined life itself. A person's consciousness can now be stored in the brain and downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve"), making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.
Onetime U.N. Envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful.
Resleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco), Kovacs is thrown into the dark heart of a shady, far-reaching conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that treats existence as something that can be bought and sold.
For Kovacs, the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning.
