What if upgrading the human body and mind became as routine as updating software? In Augment, David Hooper explores the dawn of a new era where biotechnology, neural interfaces, and digital enhancements converge to create a human operating system unlike any before.

From wearable exoskeletons and brain–computer links to genetic editing and sensory expansion, Hooper investigates how augmentation is reshaping health, productivity, creativity—and even our definition of humanity itself. Yet alongside the dazzling possibilities lie profound ethical questions: who gets access, who sets the standards, and what becomes of those who choose not to upgrade?

Clear-eyed and thought-provoking, Augment reveals a future where evolution is no longer left to nature, but to design.
