NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "If Michael Crichton had written a superhero novel, it would look a lot like Upgrade."-The New York Times Book Review "You don't so much sympathize with the main character as live inside his skin."-DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series "Mysterious, fascinating, and deeply moving-exploring the very nature of what it means to be human."-ALEX MICHAELIDES, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Maiden 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.

Rezensionen

Blake Crouch has invented his own brand of page-turner - fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising, and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be Karin Slaughter

Amazingly gripping and totally immersive, with brilliant (near-future) worldbuilding and impeccable plot You don t so much sympathize with the main character as live inside his skin. Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series

From the first page, it s clear you re in the hands of a master storyteller; Upgrade is by turns mysterious, fascinating, and deeply moving exploring the very nature of what it means to be human. Spellbinding. Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Maidens

Imaginative, perfectly paced, and extremely clever, Upgrade walks the fine line between page-turning thriller and smart sci-fi. Another killer read from Blake. Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

The incomparable Blake Crouch has, once again, completely blown my mind. Upgrade is more than a brain-bending thriller; it s a siren in the night, warning us all of the dangers of playing God with the human species. Justin Cronin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Passage Trilogy

Blake Crouch has a mind like Crichton and a heart like King Upgrade is riveting, tense, scrupulously researched, and deeply heartfelt. David Koepp, author of Cold Storage and screenwriter of Jurassic Park

Blake Crouch doesn t pull any punches in this taut and evocative examination of what humanity really is and how it fails us. A hugely entertaining and emotionally resonant thriller that you ll be thinking about long after you turn the last page.

[A] nail-biting near-future science thriller . . . Crouch fully develops his alarming concept and its implications along with delivering masterful characterizations. This is the best yet from a creative and gifted author. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Mind-bending . . . an excellent follow-up to Crouch s other dark-science novels . . . Will appeal to readers interested in climate fiction or superhero origin stories, as well as those who enjoy smart thrillers. Booklist

High-octane action, some moral complexity, and a surprisingly emotional ending elevate this novel. Recommended even for reluctant science fiction readers. Kirkus Reviews
