RICHARD MORGAN, BEFORE AND AFTER ALTERED CARBON
In various interviews, the author has himself recognised that there is a before and after in regard to Altered Carbon, the Netflix series of his Takeshi Kovacs trilogy of the same name. The second part, Broken Angels, has just been published in Spanish, soon after his now classic novel on neo-liberalism in the new millennium, Market Forces, was republished. Morgan is experiencing a second moment of glory, after Altered Carbon allowed him to become a full-time writer in 2002. In the last two decades, the British writer has forged a solid, versatile body of work, branching out to comics and computer games. The specialist on his career, Sara Martín, will be with him, to comment with her habitual analytical ability. If anyone would like to know how present-day science fiction is created and where Morgan's aggressive denouncements are directed, don't miss this event. An author like Morgan is always satisfying.
