Josh Lyman posted:Let's assume that the criminal justice system in Altered Carbon doesn't care about prisoner rehabilitation, which seems reasonable. The question then becomes, why don't they extract more value out of prisoners? They get a lot of value out of prisoners. Mind goes to jail, body goes to the highest bidder (or someone pays a massive mortgage fee to keep your meat reserved). In a society of nigh immortals labor won't be an issue, so the prisoners sleeves are a high value item

How do you prove who's data is the original? Syzygy Stardust posted:And what if you met a younger, idealistic version of yourself sent to kill you.

Zaphod42 posted:No and that's another thing that's awkward. Its the Demolition man problem. "you've been rehabilitated by being frozen for 1000 years" doesn't really make sense. Its just a time jump. That's what I'm saying. Demolition man explicitly calls out that they're basically being brainwashed the entire time. Hence why Stallone is all "Don't worry, I can patch that" when Bullock tore her sweater then was immediately all "Did I just say that?" It's also why Snipes knew all the codes to get out, because the mayor loaded him up with combat skills and how to escape the prison
