In response to the message about Neuromancer and other Cyber
Punk authors:
I was recommended a novel called "Altered Carbon" by Richard
K. Morgan by one of the employee?s of Partners & Crime,
and I can't praise it highly enough.
In a future where people move their consciousness from one
body to the next, and "real" death is a rare thing, A former
mercenary is released from prison to investigate the "murder"
of one of the oldest and richest men in the Galaxy. The
client? The man himself.
Very dark and violent with brilliantly scripted action
scenes. The book delves into some great territory concerning
identity, memory, and consciousness.
"Altered Carbon" is part of a trilogy that follows the same
character, Takeshi Kovacs.
Also, I'm sure it's been mentioned on the list before but
"Gun, With Occassional Music" by Jonathon Lethem is also
great.
