When Science Rewrites Humanity's Future
Imagine waking up to find your mind fundamentally altered-your intelligence doubled, your perception heightened, your memories crystal clear. This is the unsettling reality that Logan Ramsay faces in "Upgrade," a gripping exploration of genetic enhancement and its consequences. The novel thrusts us into a world where the line between improving humanity and destroying what makes us human blurs beyond recognition. As CRISPR technology advances in our real world, this fictional warning about human enhancement feels increasingly prophetic. What happens when we gain the power to rewrite our own genetic code? And more importantly, should we use it? Logan Ramsay carries an unimaginable burden-his complicity in the deaths of 200 million people. Years ago, he assisted his brilliant geneticist mother, Miriam, in releasing genetically modified locusts in China to combat a devastating rice blight. Their noble intentions collapsed when the engineered virus mutated beyond control, triggering an ecological disaster that led to the global famine known as the Great Starvation. Now Logan works at the Gene Protection Agency (GPA), hunting down illegal genetic modifications in a desperate attempt to atone for his past. During a raid on a suspected gene lab, he's exposed to a mysterious substance delivered through synthetic ice bombs. After two weeks of observation, doctors declare him healthy-but something fundamental within him has been irreversibly altered.
