This text analyses Altered Carbon series treated as a new, up dated incarnation of the cyberpunk genre, initiated in the 1980s by authors such as: William Gibson, Rudy Rucker, Lewis Shiner, John Shirley and Bruce Sterling. Altered Carbon uses the main threads of classic cyberpunk novels, reactivating fears and concerns related to the future of the world dominated by advanced technologies. At the same time it questions a post-cyberpunk perspective, related to assimilation of technologies by the society and getting rid of all doubts connected with advanced technology creations present in everyday life. This enables to single out a new kind of cyberpunk, which can be defined as cyberpunk after post-cyberpunk. Grim vision of the world can be interpreted as a warning against thoughtless implementation and development of technologies without bearing in mind possible consequences of such practices.
