Summary
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?

Disappointing
After having read and loved both Dark Matter and Recursion by this author I was very much looking forward to this book. Preordered it and started listening to it as soon as I could but I just couldn’t get into the story… too similar to his previous books and quite repetitive (we get it, the main character is smarter and faster, no need to remind us every few paragraphs). I even upped the speed of the narration to 2,5x because I just wanted it to be over. Was expecting more. I will however cherish Dark Matter and Recursion

Food for thought, action packed
I'm a big fan on Blake Crouch and thoroughly enjoyed this book.
For a sci-fi thriller.....it had more depth than usual and evoked emotion at the end.
I won't give anything away, only to say if we all had compassion for consequence maybe the world would bea better place.
Also Mr Crouch was around over the last few weeks and it was great to speak the the author, having that connection to an author really makes a difference.

Blake Crouch does it again
Awesome and intriguing premise, with cool science and an over-arching moral dilemma. Excellent work.

not the best blake crouch work
struggled to finish it. not sure if I will. far cry from dark matter. not sure why he decided to release this book, he can do much better. the story feels like a b-rate movie.

Underdeveloped
I think there are some interesting ideas here that go a little under developed as it descends quickly into the well trodden 'man on the run' trope. It has flavors of Flowers for Algernon, Dark Fields and Bourne but isn't nearly as well written as those touch points. He also lazily copies the plot foundation of mother and single child from Dark Matter.... That said I finished the book in two days so it clearly kept me engaged!

Very basic
Good for a younger reader not hard sci fi fun for a teen reader or a sci fi novice

Brilliant page turner
If you want something fast paced and sci-fi based in the real world, this is perfect. Also does touch on deeper meanings and leaves you thinking. Definitely my favourite book of his yet.
