   OK #AlteredCarbon is making me want to read Altered Carbon, but not because I am enjoying the story - but because I want to wash it from my brain

      How reading it would wash it from your brain?

         Because the book was good - and the changes the movie made seem to exist because "Well - we need to make changes". Like - my favourite part of the book (the Envoy Corps and the weirdness around what they are) and Quellcrist and her weird "Karl Marx via 19 year old punk" and all the pieces - they just rolled it into "We need to say terrorists".

            Ha, this part also felt wonky to me, thanks for confirming my suspicion.

      @silverwizard i've just got the last episode to watch.  It appeared to me to be mostly sex and violence fetish show dressed up as a sci fi

         @boneidol I mean - the book definitely had some of that... It fell into violence in the middle - and there was a lot of sex. But on the modernist noir skeleton fell a fairly good scifi book
