Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
"It's a first novel. It's cyber-punk mixed with sci-fi, mixed with adventure. It's an extraordinary recreation of a universe different in time and space that hold the attention absolutely. I picked it up by accident in desperation at an airport bookstall, but everything that kept me away from this book, I resented."
