''Altered Carbon'' is the first book in a [[Cyberpunk]] trilogy (often called either the ''Altered Carbon series'' or the '''''Takeshi Kovacs series''''') by British writer [[Richard K. Morgan]].
The series takes place some 500 years into the future, in the UN Protectorate, a totalitarian government spread over several different planets that enforces its rule with the use of 'Envoys'; mentally-conditioned [[Super Soldier|Shock Troopers]] who specialise in covert deployment and bringing down rebel governments.

The third book, ''Woken Furies'', finds Kovacs back on his homeworld of Harlan's World; a largely aquatic planet colonised by Japanese and Slavs. The book begins as a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] as Kovacs hunts down members of a Church who sentenced a friend of his to death, but he soon becomes involved in a growing revolutionary plot to overthrow the UN-backed government.
