A few years back, I caught an intriguing series on Netflix titled Altered Carbon. The initial season remains one of my top picks among recent television shows, and the book it was adapted from, penned by Richard K. Morgan, is equally captivating. This series brings me to a fascinating point, as its core concept seems to have influenced Critical Hit’s Nobody Wants to Die. Both stories unfold in far-future cyberpunk dystopias, where the main theme revolves around immortality achieved through transferring consciousness between bodies. In Altered Carbon, humanity explores the cosmos using alien tech called the Stack to store subconsciousness, while in Nobody Wants to Die, the world is modeled after a 1940s retro-futuristic setting akin to Bioshock, with consciousness stored in a substance named Ichorite.
