| Why it’s on the list | The third and last Takeshi Kovacs novel returns him to the world he grew up on and sets him against a restored copy of his own younger self — taking the series’ premise personally: if a mind can be stored and re-instantiated, a person can be confronted by a version of himself who has not yet learned anything, and neither has a better claim to the name. |
Where I heard about it
- a16z’s infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the Sci-fi “very good books” section (A tier), the last of the three volumes named under the Takeshi Kovacs series. The list is candid that the series is action-heavy and violent, and argues the books are darker and smarter than the television adaptation of the first one.
