Über diesen Titel

''It's clear you're in the hands of a master storyteller' - Alex Michaelides
Upgrade is the mind-bending thriller from Blake Crouch, author of the bestselling Dark Matter and Recursion.. . .


‘You are the next step in human evolution . . .’

What if you were capable of more?

Your concentration was better, you could multitask quicker, read faster, memorize more, sleep deeper.

For Logan Ramsay, it’s happening. He’s beginning to see the world around him, even those he loves the most, in whole new ways.

He knows that it’s not natural, that his genes have been hacked. He has been targeted for an upgrade.

Logan’s family legacy is one he has been trying to escape for decades and it has left him vulnerable to attack. But with a terrifying plan in place to replicate his upgrade throughout the world’s population, he may be the only person capable of stopping what has already been set in motion.

To win this war against humanity Logan will now have to become something other than himself . . .

Intricately plotted and epic in scope, Upgrade asks us to ponder the limits of our humanity – and our boundless potential. Are you ready for the impossible?

Kritikerstimmen

From the first page of Upgrade, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a master storyteller; Blake Crouch leads you on a rollercoaster ride in this highly original science-fiction adventure thriller, by turns mysterious, fascinating and deeply moving - exploring the very nature of what it means to be human. Spellbinding. (Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Maidens)
Amazingly gripping and totally immersive. Brilliant (near-future) world-building and impeccable plot. You don't so much sympathize with the main character as live inside his skin. (Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series )
Blake Crouch doesn’t pull any punches in this taut and evocative examination of what humanity really is—and how it fails us. Upgrade is a hugely entertaining and emotionally resonant thriller that you’ll be thinking about long after you turn the last page. (Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Chosen Ones and Divergent)
Blake Crouch has invented his own brand of page-turner – fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising, and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be (Karin Slaughter)
Blake Crouch’s fantastic, mind-blowing philosophical thriller
Blake Crouch is brilliant. His innovative novels never fail to grip! (Sarah Pekkanen, bestselling co-author of The Wife Between Us)
Imaginative, perfectly paced, and extremely clever. UPGRADE walks the fine line between page-turning thriller and smart sci-fi. Another killer read from Blake. (Andy Weir)
The incomparable Blake Crouch has, once again, completely blown my mind. Upgrade is more than a brain-bending thriller; it’s a siren in the night, warning us all of the dangers of playing God with the human species (Justin Cronin, The Number One New York Times bestselling author of The Passage Trilogy)
Blake Crouch has a mind like Crichton and a heart like King—Upgrade is riveting, tense, scrupulously researched, and deeply heartfelt (David Koepp, author of Cold Storage and screenwriter of Jurassic Park)
Upgrade is sleek and propulsive, a page-turner with unexpectedly beautiful passages that give you pause amid the thrills.

The book is in my experience to sci-fi technocratic. The quote of Harari definitfley unnecessary.

The story is ok with some unneccessary undertones

I liked the scientific specifics that were always easy to understand and the general idea. However, I didn't feel much excitement - the storyline seemed to clear once the protagonist met someone. No surprises. The voice hasn't brought much more excitement either. It's hard not to compare the other brilliant books of Blake Crouch to it! It's a first that my thoughts drifted during a book of this author. Interestingly, I never felt I missed something when my attention was focused back on the book.
What I liked a lot though was the strong epilogue and the general social criticism.

Great message but not as exciting as previous books

Upgrade ist nicht schlecht, aber im Vergleich zu Dark Matter und Recursion leider nur Durchschnitt. Nach einem starken und durchaus innovativen Beginn fällt die Spannung bald ab, und die Handlung wird klischeehaft, vorhersehbar und ereignisarm. Ich hätte gerne mehr Handlung gegen weniger "Genetikunterricht" getauscht. ;-) Vieleicht waren aber auch meine Erwartungen angesichts seiner bisherigen Werke einfach zu hoch.

Kein Vergleich zu Dark Matter oder Recursion

- the scientific background is the books highlight for the first few chapters, until unnecessary repetitions of dna chains and any numeral (floor 39, floor 40 etc.) brings the weak storyline to a fall. Yes, the author is trying to picture the protagonist as highly intelligent and slightly autistic, but it does not improve the writing.

- the reader changes his voice for women, children and for emotional moments. It does not sound natural and it makes you dislike these parts of the story.

Weak Story, disappointing voice
