While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.Ex-U.N. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. Dispatched one hundred eighty light-years from home, re-sleeved into a body in Bay City (formerly San Francisco, now with a rusted, dilapidated Golden Gate Bridge), 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. . . . "Morgan's debut novel, the first in a series, combines noir mystery with ultra-high tech science to create a complex sf thriller. Featuring a hard-nosed antihero with his own sense of personal honor and ethics, this is highly recommended for sf collections."-Library Journal 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers of fortune $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interstellar travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genetic engineering $v Fiction. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a McLaren, Todd Parker. $4 nrt 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10757157 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781400121373_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115706.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F9D64F6A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
