    Netflix hasn't been shy about delving into geekier fare with its original programming -- the Wachowski's Sense8 is straight sci-fci, and Marvel's Jessica Jones and Daredevil are fantastical shows in their own right. Now, both Variety and Deadline are reporting that Netflix has ordered a ten-episode season of Altered Carbon, the futuristic cyberpunk mystery novel of the same name. The 2002 book, written by Richard K. Morgan, is set in the 25th century and builds a world in which human consciousness can be stored digitally and "downloaded" into new bodies, essentially making immortality within reach for a select group of citizens.
