An Esquire Pick for the Top 50 Sci-Fi Books of All Time A 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 He scouts the latest in gene-edited talent for Big Pharma-owned baseball teams, but his own cybernetics are a decade out of date and twin sister loan sharks are banging down his door.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
