书籍介绍

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.

Blake Crouch is a bestselling novelist and screenwriter. His novels include Recursion, Dark Matter, and the Wayward Pines trilogy, which was adapted into a television series for FOX. Crouch also co-created the TNT show Good Behavior, based on his Letty Dobesh novellas. He lives in Colorado.

用户评论
Blake这次终于不玩弄时间了,改玩近年来很火的基因编辑。一贯地action-intensive、一贯地science info dump(但依旧跟主题接合得不是很好)。反对人类基因修改的理由有点牵强。尾声里的主题升华做得不错,但如果跟前文伏笔能结合得更紧密一点就更好了。
感覺有點小失望,這次沒有時間穿越,觸碰了基因更改的體裁,畫面感還是很强,感覺可以改編成電影,但是如果換一個朗讀者可能閲讀體驗能更加好。
四点五吧……有点读不下去
看完了,克劳奇的小说看了一些,还是比较喜欢平行世界的自己和自己抢老婆的《人生复本》,这本只能说是维持了一贯的水准,还有立场问题,是不太好引进的图书。
又来了,Blake Crouch的精致废话又出新番了…他怎么每次都把炫酷的概念写得又过时又无聊的。 就这样吧,看这本书就是纯浪费时间…
