Wonderful variety but something missing
This is an interesting literary debut from Zinzi Clemmons, with many semi-autobiographical elements discussing her heritage.
Thandi, a girl of mixed race, has to endure taking care of her dying mother, all the while battling various social aspects of living as a daughter of a South African and an American parent. Written in different formats, from a text message to hip hop lyrics, Clemmons explores the rich tapestry of her life and layers it with various threads.
While I mostly enjoyed this story, I do feel there is something missing and could have been weaved together a little more clearly.

Altered carbon offers a unique telling of a futuristic world. Whilst continued if over representative, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer concept. It gives view to the struggle of society. Through a well scripted action packed series. The character developments is done well through the episode. Though the story does seem to lose itself in places where certain lacking details are clearly evident, this is compensated in other parts which brings the episodes back together. This is must watch show, for sci-fi and crime dectice enthusiast. It like a good book, once you start watching you can't stop.
