It's far future technology, but somehow I can see it happening sooner than later. You can have yourself in a new body almost whenever you want, and you could get into that body from across... well, the planet, the solar system, the galaxy - you just need to know the right people.
Takeshi Kovacs is a great character, and Morgan does a great job in building him into a believable person (in whatever form he's taking).
