| Why it’s on the list | Richard K. Morgan’s second Takeshi Kovacs novel trades the detective story for war and salvage: Kovacs assembles a team of specialists to claim a buried alien artefact in the middle of a corporate-backed colonial war — a book about who owns a discovery and who is expendable in retrieving it. |

Where I heard about it
- The a16z infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the A tier of its sci-fi section, under the Takeshi Kovacs series (second of three).
About this edition
It follows Altered Carbon but stands alone; the shared element is the world’s backup-and-resleeve mechanics, not the plot. The interesting thread is commercial — what a company will trade for exclusive access to a find.
