ABOUT

Takeshi Kovacs belongs to a future where death was solved badly. Bodies became sleeves, souls became data, and the rich learned how to resurrect themselves until consequence became a myth.

Tak was trained to survive inside that myth and tear it open from the inside.

He is not simply violent. Violence is only the surface-level symptom. Underneath it is calculation, grief, training, rage, and a memory that refuses to rot no matter how many bodies they force him through. Every new sleeve is another cage. Every city is another machine pretending to be civilization.

The world calls him dangerous because he kills.

The truth is worse.

He remembers.

RULES OF SURVIVAL

• Never forget the first version of yourself
