Black Mirror fans will probably have already binged their way through the recently released fourth season by now, leaving them positively jonsing for some more dark visions of society’s future — thankfully, a new Netflix offering will soon arrive to take the edge off.

Altered Carbon takes place hundreds of years in the future, where it is then possible to digitise the human mind and download it into different bodies… meaning immortality is now a reality for those with enough money to afford it.
