Upgrade, Blake Crouch (4.0)
While sticking with a couple of themes (family man separated by technology set in the near future), once again Mr. Crouch has come up with a unique plot that pushes technology to a point where the reader must consider the ethics and philosophy of what we may expect in our future. The main character in this story goes through genetic manipulation. This is particularly relevant given the recent CRISPR advances, cloning of animals and revival of the dire wolf. We have the technology to do this, but should we? I won’t say more as, with most Crouch books, the joy is in discovery, but I enjoyed the journey and appreciated his conclusion.
