After watching the Dark Matter Series on Apple TV, I was already a fan of Blake Crouch. Upgrade is a thriller for all biochemistry, and molecular biologist fans. If you are interested in gene editing and biohacking, you will love this. It has kind of the same premise than the book “The Dark Fields” from Alan Glynn, which lead also to the film “Limitless” with Bradley Cooper. In Upgrade, the story is about humans that are upgraded. Suddenly, they are superior to “normal” humans in every aspect possible, like intelligence, agility, stamina, strength etc. The main question is, if they are still the same species and if this upgrade should be released on all humans worldwide….and at what cost?
