Blake Crouch is a bestselling novelist and screenwriter. His novels include Upgrade, Recursion, Dark Matter, and the Wayward Pines trilogy, which was adapted into a television series for FOX. Crouch also co-created the TNT show Good Behavior, based on his Letty Dobesh novellas. He lives in Colorado.
“If Michael Crichton had written a superhero novel, it would look a
lot like Upgrade. . . . Sleek and propulsive, a
page-turner with unexpectedly beautiful passages that give you
pause amid the thrills.”—Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times Book
Review
“A lot of fun . . . Crouch knows how to do a chase, when to blow
stuff up and when to bring the house lights down. . . .
But what makes Upgrade special is that his path is unique. He
takes turns that are unexpected [and] explores some stunning vistas
along the way.”—NPR
“From the first page, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a master
storyteller; Upgrade is 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
“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, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Martian and Project Hail Mary
“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, #1 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
“Blake Crouch doesn’t pull any punches in this taut and evocative
examination of what humanity really is—and how it fails us. 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
“[A] nail-biting near-future science thriller . . .
Crouch fully develops his alarming concept and its implications
along with delivering masterful characterizations. This is the
best yet from a creative and gifted author.”—Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
“Mind-bending . . . an excellent follow-up to Crouch’s other
dark-science novels . . . Will appeal to readers interested in
climate fiction or superhero origin stories, as well as those who
enjoy smart thrillers.”—Booklist
“High-octane action, some moral complexity, and a surprisingly
emotional ending elevate this novel. Recommended—even for
reluctant science fiction readers.”—Kirkus Reviews
