   "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.
