"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.
