Altered Carbon treats the brain as a computer that can have its hard drive swapped out. That's really stupid and a good reason to ignore it. It's also particularly poorly written.

To be fair, that's just magical alien technology. Humans don't even know how it works.

The writing is not great but not horrible either. The plot is far ahead of the writing style though.
