About this listen

''It's clear you're in the hands of a master storyteller' - Alex Michaelides

Upgrade is the mind-bending thriller from Blake Crouch, author of the bestselling Dark Matter and Recursion.. . .

‘You are the next step in human evolution . . .’

What if you were capable of more?

Your concentration was better, you could multitask quicker, read faster, memorize more, sleep deeper.

For Logan Ramsay, it’s happening. He’s beginning to see the world around him, even those he loves the most, in whole new ways.

He knows that it’s not natural, that his genes have been hacked. He has been targeted for an upgrade.

Logan’s family legacy is one he has been trying to escape for decades and it has left him vulnerable to attack. But with a terrifying plan in place to replicate his upgrade throughout the world’s population, he may be the only person capable of stopping what has already been set in motion.

To win this war against humanity Logan will now have to become something other than himself . . .

Intricately plotted and epic in scope, Upgrade asks us to ponder the limits of our humanity – and our boundless potential. Are you ready for the impossible?

Performance is best.

The story is really not an upgrade from the authors other books, infact it is a downgrade. Very standard super hero story where one person wants to kill the world for a personal agenda and the protagonist gets entangled in the 'save the world' plot. Nothing spl here. You haven't read this you din miss anything.

Starts well but ends in being a predictable affair

The premise is certainly intriguing - what if we some extra bells and whistles! The book starts well builds on to the concept of upgraded Homo Sapiens and whether that such upgraded version will still qualify as human but then quickly falls flat in the second half. The set pieces are typical and predictable in the later half.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

A very unusual thought and story line. Almost frightening but true in its projection of what mankind can do to itself. The ending rounds off the whole story and gives me hope. I was totally immersed in the book from beginning to end. Thank you to Blake Crouch

Good narration, didn’t enjoy the story.

I didn’t enjoy the story. It got too technical and seemed and became a struggle to finish.
However, I loved the narration of this story.

Too technical

Too technical. Felt like a science journal at times. Loved Dark matter and Recursion...this didn't meet the expectations.

What makes us HUMAN... good, thought provoking

A near future thriller about gene editing. What will you change if technology for modifying our gene construct is available?

Will you want to be more intelligent? rational? stronger? disease resilient? compassionate?

This book has an answer. Or at least a good shot at it.

The book is simpler than Dark Matter or Recursion. Less science-fictiony. But a good entertaining, thought provoking read.

Another masterpiece by Blake

This is quite a thought provoking story line... Not sure why but it felt like reading Michael Crichton's work at a point.
Story line was fast paced and crisp. The story by itself was brilliant.
The performance was well done.
