"An alternately charming and horrifying exploration of what it means to be human and how far we'll go in pursuit of personal and societal 'perfection.' 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. It's a story about who comes after us. And it's a story about perfection. Because perfection has a way of getting ugly.

3 STARRED REVIEWS!

"A deep and suddenly necessary exploration of the beautiful and terrible futures we face. Every story leaves you desperate for more. Somehow, the further from today Dayton travels, the more real it becomes." --Hank Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

SO CAPTIVATING! I COULD NOT STOP LISTENING!

Each character draws you deeper into the story! So amazing and really makes you think! Highly recommend listening to this, all the narrators did a fantastic job! I finished the whole audiobook in a day, it was so good!

This was amazing!

The book was amazing. If you like story’s of dystopian futures you will love this book. There is so much detail and it is like a movie in your head! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Interesting but a bit too open ended

6 very interesting stories that tell the tale of centuries of human craziness and what will happen to us if we are not careful. The only issue I think is with the short stories. Because it takes a little bit to get into it and get invested in the characters then I wish I would know more of what happened to them and if they turned out ok.
But overall good book

Creepy, and awesome, and clever - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I downloaded this book, but man was I surprised. It is really well researched (I fact-checked quite a few things out of curiosity). Arwen Elys Dayton has a wonderfully visual style, so the story itself is very entertaining. Several days later, I am still thinking about this world she created. It’s a real place, and could be our future if we’re not careful.
It’s a good read. You won’t be disappointed.

Separate Stories that Do Not Connect

I wish I had known this book was a collection of separate and 'unfinished' stories before I began to read it. The only connection between the stories are the Modifications to human anatomy. I would have enjoyed it more if the author's note at the end of the book was placed at the beginning, instead.
