Description: Sex, Death and Resurrection in Altered Carbon : Essays on the Netflix Series, Paperback by Kobus, Aldona (EDT); Muniowski, Lukasz (EDT), ISBN 1476679622, ISBN-13 9781476679624, Brand New, Free shipping in the US ""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 tries to answer 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? This collection considers the series to be substantially relevant, taking on a plethora of current issues, from the critique of neoliberalism, through the ethical aspects of biotechnology, up to thanatology. It provokes questions about what it means to be human in a world in which death does not exist. These essayists 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."-Provided by publisher"--
