Altered Carbon. The good guys in the books were communist rebel.
Season one was bout an old money sex traffic ring. Season two changed the rebeld to Christian democrats. After acheiving transhumanism and warching neoliberalism fuck it up, they try to go back to trad life. Gross
yeah when the rebels were primarily trying to end immortality instead of making it universally accessable and fair it really irked me. also was cringe that the rebellion was portrayed as a few dozen main character supersoldiers in the woods doing nothing instead of a popular revolt.
Oh man, I did not know this. Just skimmed through a post he did on his blog in 2020 where he was mad that people call him a TERF and, uh, it's pretty hateful stuff.
The books I think are very much worth reading. Just got every kinda violence so trust you gut on that.
They are sonfar as themes go about toxic masculinity, trauma, violence , and the absurdity of life.
The author basicaly only writes on those themes. He has another triliogy that is fantasy and gay with the same themes. Richard Morgan with the A Land Fit For Heroes trilogy.
I think a better work to start with would be Market forces or Thirteen. It is the same themes just condensed down to one book
I wanted to like that show, but I only watched the first season. After a couple episodes they seemed to really ramp up the hamminess and cheesy production. I felt like the writers/director wanted me to take the show seriously, but did not take it seriously themselves. I don't remember the details at all now, I just remember a lot of over-acting and corny dialogue from everybody except the lead. That and the goofy acrobatic fight choreography which I, personally, can't stand (though is by no means a deal breaker on its own).
It is kinda metatextual as how serious are you supposed to take the idle rich fucking around with eachother. But really they didn't handle it as well as they could of.

Are the books worth reading? I don’t want to get to the end and it’s ultimately Lib but that sounds cool
Yes but the author is a TERF so steal his books
