WatermelonApeon A startup is pitching a mind-uploading service that is “100 percent fatal”

I watched the Netflix series and I really liked the premise but found the story and acting lacking in some areas.

However I really liked the noir protagonist and the scene you described was my favorite episode in the show. I am interested how the story continues.

Are the books much better than the show? How would you rate the trilogy among your favorite cyberpunk novels? Thanks.

What are they dodging? They're paying a reasonable tax rate of 23%, as opposed to never repatriating the profits and paying 0%. The US govt gave them a chance to clean the slate at a reasonable rate and they took it.
