About this listen
Are you ready for the future?
Black Mirror with a touch of Westworld rewiring, Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful is a novel in six interconnected parts about what it means to be human - and where those boundaries lie.
Set in our world, spanning the near to distant future, the author, Arwen Elys Dayton, explores the possible consequences of advanced medical breakthroughs and how they may shape and reshape humanity. From organ donation to plastic surgery to full bodily reconstruction, these stories take you by your (for now, organic) hand and lead you into a future where the line between person and machine becomes increasingly blurred.
Deeply thoughtful, poignant, horrifying and action-packed, this novel strikes new ground while also seeming so strangely...likely.
Just try to disconnect.

"Haunting, challenging and provocative - this is an extraordinary book. I can't can’t stop thinking about it." (Amie Kaufman, New York Times best-selling coauthor of the Illuminae Files)
"A work of unforgettable vision and imagination. This book is everything I love about science fiction." (Jay Kristoff, New York Times best-selling author)
"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)

Aun muy lejos pero no imposible
La historia es muy imaginativa, te mantiene cautivo pensar que tal vez algun día algo de lo narrado suceda.

Tomorrow today
Enlightening to focus on the author's extrapolation of gene modification and the threat it could become. Story lines are feasible which for me is what makes good science fiction. Characters and characterisation are not larger than life and unbelievable.
A good thought provoking subject that was easy to read and entertaining. Recommend this book to General and science fiction readers because the subject matter will be of interest to all who wonder where medicine and genetic modification may be taking us.

Do yourself a favour and read this book!!
One of my few 5* reads of 2021.
This book is SO clever, and interesting. I've never much been a fan of anthologies' before - but this one was incredible.
Amazing audio performance
