Finsheded it. And continueded with Broken Angels, the second book of the trilogy (I think there's only three books in this series).
Altered Carbon was breddy gud. The story felt a little cheap maybe but the writing style was entertaining. The vivid descriptions I mentioned accompany the reader through the whole book.
Strong cyberpunk setting.
The human personality and mind can be stored "on stacks" and can be placed in different bodies, "sleeves". And this is how they travel in space. They colonized other planets, some take hundreds of years to travel to, and now if someone wants to move between planets they "needlecast" his consciousness to the destination because sending data is faster then moving bodies, and at the new place he is just placed into a new sleeve (maybe even into a clone, since dns is also just a data that can be sent).
Some - with enough wealth - can use the resleeving process as a way of immortality, but it takes a certain type of person who actually can deal with the psychological challenge of living a very long time.
Also consciousness can be stored indefinitely.
