Abstract
In line with the main concerns of the genre of science fiction, cyberpunk fiction, as its specific subgenre, highlights the whole array of problems caused by the development of technology, but most notably social inequity. Written in 2002, Altered Carbon, the debut novel of the British author Richard K. Morgan, is one of the prime examples of such fiction. The basis for the dystopian future in Altered Carbon is the so-called stack technology, that is, the ability to digitize human consciousness and store it inside a small stack to be stored just below the cortex. Thus, in theory, if one’s body dies, but the stack remains unscathed, it can be retracted and put inside a different body, otherwise called sleeve. This thesis will attempt to explore the major ethical and sociological issues that such advanced technology implies in order to point out that the future, as imagined by this cyberpunk novel, seems both grim and uncanny.
