In Altered Carbon, did you enjoy ...

... the relentless, high-stakes mission?

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

If you loved following Takeshi Kovacs as he ruthlessly hunted for the truth and vengeance in Altered Carbon, you'll be riveted by Gully Foyle's desperate quest for revenge across a futuristic solar system. The plot is a relentless drive forward, with every chapter ramping up the stakes as Foyle stops at nothing to achieve his goal.

... morally complex protagonists with ambiguous loyalties?

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

If you enjoyed the morally gray world of Takeshi Kovacs—where heroism and villainy constantly blur—you'll be fascinated by Jean le Flambeur, a thief whose shifting alliances and questionable ethics pull you through a dazzling, high-tech future. Like Kovacs, Jean's choices are never simple, and the line between right and wrong is always up for debate.

... a dark, gritty vision of the future?

Neuromancer by William Gibson

If you were drawn to the bleak, rain-soaked cityscapes and brutal atmosphere of Altered Carbon, Neuromancer will immerse you in an equally unforgiving cyberpunk world. The story follows Case, a washed-up hacker navigating a landscape of crime, corruption, and existential dread—complete with high-tech intrigue and hard-edged violence.

... fast-paced, relentless action and constant twists?

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

If the relentless pace and constant surprises of Altered Carbon kept you turning pages, Red Rising delivers even more adrenaline. Follow Darrow as he plunges into a deadly game of rebellion, betrayal, and survival where every chapter brings a new shock, and the stakes climb ever higher.

... detailed, immersive futuristic worldbuilding?

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds

If you were captivated by the rich, layered world of Altered Carbon—from its tech to its social hierarchies—you'll be drawn into the vast, intricately constructed universe of Revelation Space. Reynolds crafts a future full of mystery, history, and complex societies that reward attentive, curious readers.
