Upgrade : a novel / Blake Crouch.
"An ordinary man undergoes a startling transformation--and fears that all of humanity may be next--in the mindblowing new thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion. Logan Ramsay can feel his brain ... changing. And his body too. He's becoming something other than himself. Maybe even something other than human. As he sets out to discover who did this to him, and why, his transformation threatens everything--his family, his job, even his freedom. Because the truth of what's happened to him is more disturbing than he could possibly imagine. His DNA has been rewritten with a genetic-engineering breakthrough beyond anything the world has seen--one that could change our very definitions of humanity. And the battle to control this unfathomable power has already begun. But what if humankind's only hope for survival lies in embracing this change--whatever the cost? Which side will Logan take? And by the time it's over, will he--and the people he loves--even recognize him? Upgrade is a stunningly inventive, ferociously plotted science-fiction thriller that explores the limits of our humanity--and asks what's at risk when technology lets us reengineer not just the world around us, but ourselves"-- Provided by publisher.

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 Recursionâcurrently in development as a motion picture at Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners
âYou are the next step in human evolution.â
At first, Logan Ramsay isnât sure if anythingâs 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 canât deny it: Somethingâs happening to his brain. To his body. Heâs starting to see the world, and those around himâeven those he loves mostâin whole new ways.
The truth is, Loganâs genome has been hacked. And thereâs a reason heâs 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, whatâs happening to him is just the first step in a much larger plan, one that will inflict the same changes on humanity at largeâat a terrifying cost.
Because of his new abilities, Loganâs the one person in the world capable of stopping whatâs been set in motion. But to have a chance at winning this war, heâll have to become something other than himself. Maybe even something other than human.
And even as heâs fighting, he canât help wondering: what if humanityâs 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 manâs thrilling transformation, even as it asks us to ponder the limits of our humanityâand our boundless potential.
