Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan is a gripping cyberpunk novel that propels readers into a future where interstellar travel and relative immortality are facilitated by transferring consciousness between bodies, known as “sleeves.” The story unfolds in a future where humans achieve virtual immortality. If their body dies, their stack can be stored indefinitely and downloaded into new bodies (sleeves). However, Roman Catholics refuse re-sleeving due to their belief in the soul’s journey to Heaven upon death.
