Should it really be said that "Broken Angels" is in the same world as Altered Carbon? I think it would be more accurate to say the same universe, as they don't actually take place on the same world.

[edit] "Explanation of title"

Someone wrote that altered carbon is the material out of which cortical stacks are made. I have read this book several times and have absolutely no recall of this "fact", so I removed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rawling (talkcontribs) 18:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

The term altered carbon seems to be fairly loosely applied to modified humans, be it cybernetics or genetics doing the modifying. (70.254.3.15 03:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC))
James Cameron bought rights for film for $1,000,000 US.
To refute myself, I believe the copy of the double-sleeved assassin is kept in police storage on an altered carbon disc. I need to re-read these all again... quote for wikiquote, etc. etc. Rawling4851 20:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year?

I believe in the book it states that it is the early 26th century, if anyone knows for sure. Does this require an edit?

Blurb says 26th, yep. I seem to remember a more exact date in the book, but can't remember where. Geoff B 17:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
