Immortality is within reach in Netflix’s latest binge-worthy series. Altered Carbon, which premieres on February 2nd, is based on the popular 2002 cyberpunk novel written by British author Richard K.

Altered Carbon is set in a distant future where humanity has discovered a way to preserve human consciousness -- if you have the cash for a device called a Cortical Stack.
