Upgrade

What does it mean to be human?

That is that question at the heart of this novel. All of Blake Crouch's recent novels have just set my mind thinking after turning the last page, but I think none more so than Upgrade. Of Dark Matter and Recursion, Upgrade is the closest to our current reality which makes it the most relatable.

Upgrade is just a fun read and an easy page turner, because basically what you have is a more realistic and grounded take on Captain America, but Upgrade isn't defined by The Upgrade, it's defined by that question.

I think Crouch arrived at the correct answer to it, which made me love the ending of the book and the final solution. If only it were that easy in real life.
