I'm still not hooked three episodes in (as in, where I have to restrain myself from marathoning the whole series in two days or less). Too much sex stuff. Some elements are silly (non-super rich people are being prevented from backing up their stacks, how?).


Backing up stacks is an expensive process.


That's the silly part. This stack is small enough to fit in a human brain, and somehow that can't be backed up unless you're super rich. Flashdrives today can be backed up for super cheap. And don't forget that this problem existed when Kovacs was in his original body. 200 years later and they still haven't reduced the cost of back-ups so that the middle class can afford it too? It's contrived.


Not really. Did you ever think that in a world like that where the rich are effectively gods to the masses that they might set things up to continue that way?
