Recently, I heard that Netflix were producing a series based on these novels, starring (the current) Superman himself, Henry Cavill.

I was also aware of the held-in-great-esteem computer game of the same name (or, rather, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt), even though I'd never actually played it.

When I watched the Netflix teaser trailer, I decided to give the original tales a go.

Translated from Polish into English, this is actually a collection of short stories rather than a full-blown novel in its own right, introducing - or so I've heard - some of the key players in the later full-blown saga, aside from Geralt of Rivia himself.

I think I'll be working my way through more of these!

More than 300 years in the future, society has been transformed by new technology, leading to human bodies being interchangeable and death no longer being permanent. Takeshi Kovacs is the only surviving soldier of a group of elite interstellar warriors who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order. His mind was imprisoned for centuries until impossibly wealthy businessman Laurens Bancroft offers him the chance to live again. Kovacs will have to do something for Bancroft, though, if he wants to be resurrected. Bancroft's request of Kovacs is to solve a murder -- Bancroft's. "Altered Carbon" is based on Richard K. Morgan's cyberpunk noir novel of the same name.

⚖️ “In a city divided by prejudice and power, one Sicilian immigrant must fight to survive amid corruption, violence, and the deadliest lynching in U.S. history.”

Based on true events, S. R. Perricone’s Cobblestones – A New Orleans Tragedy is a gripping tale of injustice, survival, and the fight for dignity in a city torn apart by fear and hate.
