Morgan’s bio, you can visit his Wikipedia Article. If you are interested in learning more about Richard K. This post serves as an introduction to the content rich scenarios and universe that Richard K. Oh, just for your information: I will neither provide a full plot synopsis nor spoiler the shit out of you, so don’t worry about stuff like that. I am also considering to take a closer look on each of them in separate lengthier posts (yes, I enjoy them that much). I will include your input in future updates and expand this review from time to time to include a bit more info, especially on each of the three specific novels. So enjoy the ride and let me know if you feel the same and / or if you miss something.
This review post will cover a quick overview of the societal and technological developments that characterize this unique trilogy and will also head on to the eponymous main protagonist, Takeshi Kovacs, afterwards. An important aspect that greets me especially on every revisit of this rasping abrasive world. As life goes on, a lot of perspectives change and you pay attention to other details. It has even become an addiction of mine to reread the whole series every now and then – I always come back. Especially compared to a lot of the SciFi stuff I followed in my youth, which was usually more on the light hearted and (most times too) optimistic side of things.īy the time I had finished the second and third book, “Broken Angels” and “Woken Fury”, I was totally hooked “on Kovacs”. Since I have read the first book, “Altered Carbon”, back in 2002, my interests in cyberpunk, (neo-)noir detective stories, the darker SciFi corners and dystopian topics in general, have increased by several magnitudes. Among many candidates my thoughts got constantly drawn to the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy, three quite astonishing hardboiled SciFi novels written by Richard K. It took me quite some time to decide which specific kind of dystopian media I should review first for the launch of Planet Dystopia.
