Haven't read the book because the back cover made it sound pretty cookie-cutter. The show is surprisingly good, good cinematography, some nice visual ideas, good cast, overall a very solid cyberpunk-noir world is built. Ok, a lot of the visual design is pretty recycled - 45 degree angles make things scifi right?- and unfortunately the main plot underlying it all seems to be the usual "Rich sociopaths vs the rest of the world" dystopia that hasn't been thought out well enough to make it interesting. But despite having little real foundation, the edifice they've built has kept me interested so far.
