Description
An Esquire Pick for the Top 50 Sci-Fi Books of All TimeA New York Times Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Novel of 2021"A breathlessly paced techno-thriller characterized by stunning, spiky worldbuilding." - EsquireIn the future you can have any body you want-as long as you can afford it. But in a New York ravaged by climate change and repeat pandemics, Kobo is barely scraping by.
He scouts the latest in gene-edited talent for Big Pharma-owned baseball teams, but his own cybernetics are a decade out of date and twin sister loan sharks are banging down his door.
Things couldn't get much worse. Then his brother-Monsanto Mets slugger J.J. Zunz-is murdered at home plate. Determined to find the killer, Kobo plunges into a world of genetically modified CEOs, philosophical Neanderthals, and back-alley body modification, only to quickly find he's in a game far bigger and more corrupt than he imagined.
To keep himself together while the world is falling apart, he'll have to navigate a time where both body and soul are sold to the highest bidder. Diamond-sharp and savagely wry, The Body Scout is a timely science fiction thriller debut set in an all-too-possible future. "I devoured it." -Jonathan Lethem"Completely weird and still completely real.
Delightful-I couldn't put it down."-Shea Serrano
