Altered Carbon
by Richard K. Morgan
by Richard K. Morgan
Violent, strange, compelling noir SF set in the distant future, where people can be downloaded into bodies, which they call sleeves. You can be male or female. Some - richer - people live for a very long time, and one of them hires the protagonist to investigate his murder. (He had a back up download, apparently.)

Violent, strange, compelling and curiously fab. Love the trilogy. The 2nd one is a little slower. The 3rd one makes up for it. They are available in audio, as well.

We'll see how it turns out. :)
