Book Summary and Reviews of Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful by Arwen Elys Dayton

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. This speculative, thought provoking novel will take readers on a frightening, remarkable journey through humanity's past, present, and possible future." - Booklist

"Starred Review. Imaginative and incisive, this asks readers to ponder what makes us human and if we'll know when we've crossed the line, becoming something else." - Kirkus

"Starred Review. Part cautionary tale and part ode to the inventive human spirit, Dayton's brilliant collection of stories is best described as a scientific Twilight Zone." - Publishers Weekly "Starred Review. Compelling and terrifying, this volume is science fiction at its finest." - School Library Journal

"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.' Dayton's newest is imagination at its best and most terrifying. I devoured this book." - Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken

"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, author of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

"Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful is a remarkable book, visionary and very hard to put down. The characters live in compelling, personal stories that have relevance to the future of the human race itself." - Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Between the Stars

"A work of unforgettable vision and imagination. This book is everything I love about science fiction." - Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Illuminae Files

"Haunting, challenging and provocative - this is an extraordinary book. I can't stop thinking about it." - Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Illuminae Files
