Globetrotteur invétéré, Richard Morgan a été lecteur à l'université de Strathclyde (Grande-Bretagne) avant de se tourner vers l'écriture. Il s'impose très vite comme un écrivain incontournable grâce à une plume efficace. Carbone modifié, son premier roman, lui a valu en 2003 le prix Philip K. Dick et fait désormais l'objet d'une adaptation en série télévisée sur Netflix. En 2008, il reçoit le prix Arthur C. Clarke pour le techno-thriller Black Man. Thin Air se déroule dans le même univers.

MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES FEB 2018
This must-read story is a confident, action-and-violence packed thriller, and future classic noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning author.
Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded into bodies as a matter of course.
But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn¿t be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society.
For a first-time SF writer to be so surely in command of narrative and technology, so brilliant at world-building, so able to write such readable and enjoyable SF adventure, is simply extraordinary.
