  • Summary

  • All episodes of this Audible Original will be available November 3.

    For their 45th anniversary, wealthy science buffs Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to fund an experimental rejuvenation procedure, with only one condition: that they be the first subjects.

    The fact is Hank and Molly are getting old, and the new procedure, called Upgrade Cell, seems to be just what they’re looking for. It’s a novel gene therapy that’s supposed to increase its recipients’ lifespans and enhance their intelligence.

    But Molly and Hank’s procedure goes horribly wrong. Instead of becoming younger and healthier, they are left with severely disfigured though intellectually and physically superior clones of themselves. And a psychological battle of moral fortitude begins.

    Upgrade Soul is an audio-drama adaptation of the critically acclaimed science fiction graphic novel by author Ezra Claytan Daniels. Wendell Pierce (Suits, Jack Ryan) stars as Hank alongside Marcia Gay Harden (Uncoupled, So He Told Me) as Molly. Upgrade Soul effortlessly weaves a story of transhumanism, horror, suspense, moral and ethical dilemmas, love, and betrayal into one epically thrilling tale.

    Are the newer, better versions of Hank and Molly still them? Or something far worse?

Amazing performances and atmospheric effects

Great storyline and backed up with amazing cast and performances. It will transport you to another place for the duration of the story. It might be a bit hard to follow initially but don’t give up.
