The mind-blowing new thriller from the New York Timesbestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion Another killer read from Blake.”-ANDY WEIR, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary

“Walks the fine line between page-turning thriller and smart sci-fi.

“You don’t so much sympathize with the main character as live inside his skin.”-DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Timesbestselling 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 Maidens Upgrade is detailed, and so well researched. Fans of crouch’s stakes and pacing won’t be disappointed. literally, Crouch wrote a book about human nature. Upgrade imagines economic, political, and environmental futures, focusing clearly on how we in the first continue to fuck it up. And with upgrade, like recursion, crouch swings for the fences. I saw crouch talk at book con 2019 and on his panel he committed: no more small books. I was so thrilled to read upgrade based on the experience I had with recursion. We’d like to thank Blake and Ballantine Books for the opportunity. **We received an advanced copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
