Plot

For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award-winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity-Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? This page-turning graphic novel follows the lives of Hank and Molly as they discover the harsh truth that only one version of themselves is fated to survive.

Dosificando con inteligencia la información acerca del proceso que conforma la premisa, Daniels presenta una narración en dos tiempos que alterna inicialmente el antes y el después de un experimento arriesgado: un anciano matrimonio de inversores es convencido de hacer historia siendo como los primeros sujetos de una terapia de rejuvenecimiento consistente en la fabricación de un cuerpo óptimo a partir de su propio ADN al que se trasladaría toda la información retenida por sus cerebros. [...] El experimento es abortado al interrumpirse la evolución física de los clones en una temprana fase fetal, provocándoles una apariencia horrenda… y una coexistencia obligada con sus originales, claramente dañados física y mentalmente. Una reflexión complicada. [Reseña completa en Globos de Pensamiento: https://globosdepensamiento.com/2020/03/16/upgrade-soul-ser-y-no-ser/]
