Books On Our Radar: Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful by Arwen Elys Dayton
Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful by Arwen Elys Dayton is set in the near future and has that sci-fi feel that screams so real. So many people are currently so obsessed over their looks, and why wouldn’t we try to make ourselves perfect in every way? Of course this can get a little cluegy ethically and I can’t wait to see how Arwen tackles these tricky questions. Is it progress or is it disruption? I love that this book is being comp’d with Black Mirror and Westworld because those TV shows absolutely killed it. Clearly, I am really excited to read this one! Strong, Faster, and More Beautiful is releasing on December 4th, so add it to your TBR now!

For fans of television shows Black Mirror and Westworld, this compelling, mind-bending novel is a twisted look into the future, exploring how far we will go to remake ourselves into the perfect human specimen and what it means to be human at all.
Set in our world, spanning the near to distant futures, Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful is a novel made up of six interconnected stories that ask how far we will go to remake ourselves into the perfect human specimens, and how hard that will push the definition of “human.”
This extraordinary work explores the amazing possibilities of genetic manipulation and life extension, as well as the ethical quandaries that will arise with these advances. The results range from the heavenly to the monstrous. Deeply thoughtful, poignant, horrifying, and action-packed, Arwen Elys Dayton’s Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful is groundbreaking in both form and substance.
