I devoured this book." --Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken For fans of television shows Black Mirror and Westworld, this compelling, mind-bending novel is a twisted look into the future, exploring the lengths we'll go to remake ourselves into the perfect human specimen and what it means to be human at all. The future is curious. STRONGER Today our bodies define us. We color our hair; tattoo our skin; pierce our ears, brows, noses. We lift weights, run miles, break records. We are flesh and blood and bone. FASTER Tomorrow has different rules. The future is no longer about who we are--it's about who we want to be. If you can dream it, you can be it. Science will make us smarter, healthier, flawless in every way. Our future is boundless. MORE BEAUTIFUL This is a story that begins tomorrow. It's a story about us.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This sci-fi story narrated by six narrators will certainly win over a wide audience…All the narrators—Michael Crouch, Karissa Vacker, Brittany Pressley, Christopher Gebauer, Ari Fliakos, and Rebecca Lowman— expertly deliver, creating an atmosphere as eerie as an episode of Black Mirror or The Twilight Zone. The characters narrate their own stand-alone stories, but eventually they all connect. Which one will be your favorite? Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
