There seem to be big jumps in the plot in the show. My guess is that Ortega is a more layered and subtle character in the book - at least I would hope. Then when Kovacs deduces his sleeve is someone she cares about, she caves in 30 seconds and says she'll tell him everything. Her anger is incredibly cliche and seems out of place half the time. Ortega is extremely overacted for starters. I'm 4 episodes in, and I am finding the show very uneven, aside from the cinematography and effects. I have not read the book, but it has been on my list and I had been looking forward to the show.

Pure high-octane science fiction mixes with the classic noir private-eye tale." - Orlando Sentinel "Gritty and vivid. Morgan's writing is vivid and his plotting inventive." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "A fascinating trip. 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. envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly painful. 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. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. In the twenty-fifth century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N.
