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.
Human beings are not a means to an end.
What began as a story similar to others that I have read quickly transformed into an interesting read. As usual, Crouch's timing and pacing is great, as is the character development. I would have liked it to have been a little longer.
Overall, I prefer some of Crouch's other works.
