ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
In Blake Crouch’s “Upgrade,” the protagonist, Logan Ramsay, is a geneticist working for the Gene Protection Agency (G.P.A.). His world is shattered when a seemingly benign virus infects him, irrevocably altering his genetic makeup and enhancing his cognitive abilities to superhuman levels. This upgrade thrusts Logan into a race against time when he discovers that his estranged sister, Kara, is behind the virus and plans to unleash a transmissible version upon the world, believing it to be the only way to save humanity from itself. Logan must confront the ethical complexities of genetic engineering while battling his own internal struggles and facing the devastating consequences of his sister’s actions. The novel delves into the realms of science fiction and bio-thrillers, exploring themes of scientific responsibility, human evolution, and the potential for both progress and destruction that lie at the heart of our technological advancements.
