Upgrade

In a world teetering on the brink of environmental and societal collapse, Logan Ramsay is infected with a custom-engineered virus during a raid on an illegal gene-editing lab. Soon, his body and mind begin to transform: his concentration, memory, and cognitive capacity reach superhuman levels. But this "upgrade" is not a gift—it is the first phase of a terrifying global plan designed by someone dangerously close to him. Hunted by the government and desperate to stop a forced genetic transformation of the entire human race, Logan must use his new capabilities to fight for humanity’s survival. "Upgrade" is a high-octane thriller exploring the ethics of biotechnology and the core of what truly makes us human.
