The 2018 Netflix series Altered Carbon is a vital contribution to
the cyberpunk renaissance, among such titles as Snowpiercer or
Blade Runner 2049. This collection of new essays answers the
question: is this increasing popularity of cyberpunk a sign of
recognition of the genre's transgressive aspects, such as a stark
critique of capitalism, or is it the opposite-a sign of the genre's
failure to successfully criticize modernity? The contributors
consider the series as taking on current issues, from a critique of
neoliberalism, through the ethical aspects of biotechnology, up to
thanatology. They provoke questions about what it means to be human
in a world in which death does not exist. Essays evaluate the
surging popularity of the series and cyberpunk at large from a
variety of critical perspectives, shedding new light on a
challenging and inventive series.
