There is an eclipse phase wiki that has the TV show's interpretation of the stack
https://altered-carbon.fandom.com/wiki/Cortical_Stack
1) Created from a precursor alien cache.
2) Stores the personality into a disk.
3) Designed for space travel, by beaming the consciousness to a new body.
4) Allows immportality as long as the stack is not destroyed, and is recovered.
5) Rich people can afford an "over the air" backup to a secure locaton.
6) Penalties for sleeve (the body) murder have been reduced to the status of property crime.
7) Copying the stack is OK, but activating a duplicate is very illegal. No cloning yourself.
8) All citizens get one at age 1 year.
9) Some religious groups have a "do not re-sleeve" so they are not revived.

I read the T5 material, and it covers a lot of the concepts that would shake things up in the Imperium. I am messing around with the idea that a high tech concept/prototype is in the Scholars tower in Drinax, since that is near where my current game is set.
This would allow the players to get stacked. One character is already kitted out with pretty much every computer/neural augment they can stuff into their skull, so it should be an easy sell.
The cost is high,especially for the memory upgrade.
Cory Doctorow has a couple of stories that touch on this. "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom has people able to resleeve daily if need be. "Walkaway" covers the discovery of the invention and has musings on what it will mean.
