ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, She Reads
The mind-blowing new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion—currently in development as a motion picture at Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners
“You are the next step in human evolution.”
At first, Logan Ramsay isn’t sure if anything’s different. He just feels a little . . . sharper. Better able to concentrate. Better at multitasking. Reading a bit faster, memorizing better, needing less sleep.
But before long, he can’t deny it: Something’s happening to his brain. To his body. He’s starting to see the world, and those around him—even those he loves most—in whole new ways.
The truth is, Logan’s genome has been hacked. And there’s a reason he’s been targeted for this upgrade. A reason that goes back decades to the darkest part of his past, and a horrific family legacy.
Worse still, what’s happening to him is just the first step in a much larger plan, one that will inflict the same changes on humanity at large—at a terrifying cost.
Because of his new abilities, Logan’s the one person in the world capable of stopping what’s been set in motion. But to have a chance at winning this war, he’ll have to become something other than himself. Maybe even something other than human.
And even as he’s fighting, he can’t help wondering: what if humanity’s only hope for a future really does lie in engineering our own evolution?
Intimate in scale yet epic in scope, Upgrade is an intricately plotted, lightning-fast tale that charts one man’s thrilling transformation, even as it asks us to ponder the limits of our humanity—and our boundless potential.

I get it. The main characters turn super smart wiow wow…. Yawn. Wow. Never read that before And what grand revelation do the characters do either it? Same short term self interest activities dumb people do… Not clever. Not new. Not worth reading

Could not put this down. Terrifying in that it’s all so plausible.

A fun read but with high end science that I needed an “upgrade” to understand most of the time! Still, I learned something which was pleasantly unexpected

Great book! loved the story and ideas it provoked. Couldn’t put it down. Another great entry in Blake’s growing catalog of fun and entertaining rides! If you like Andy Weir and Blake Crough go read this book!

This is my third Blake Crouch novel I own and have read - I am literally writing this minutes after having finished this novel - and he continues to be one of my favorites out there. I do not have many sci-fi novels, and I am as of recently exploring a little more with book genres, but Crouch's Dark Matter was my introduction to sci-fi and I have been hooked ever since. I love how well he continues to make these sci-fi novels while each still being very independent from one another. This story really stands out to me compared to his others a great way, and actually reminds me of classics like 1984 and Brave New World; This novel has a very relevant theme that while fictionized, seems extremely relevant and real in today's world and where our world is headed. Crouch definitely did his research and had great contacts to help him with this novel. This novel very much makes me feel like it is a very real future for humanity rather than a completely fictionalized story; What is even scarier is it doesn't seem like this is a far-distant future. Regardless, I highly recommend this book, especially those with any type of science background. LOVED.
