Sci-Fi Odyssey's video: Altered Carbon THE ULTRAVIOLENCE spoilers

WARNING: This video discusses graphic violence and explores adult themes. Altered Carbon is one of my all time favourite sci-fi books. But there are scenes of stomach-churning violence in the novel – some might even call it ultraviolent. Here, I explore this and ask "is it necessary?"
