I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Harper Collins.

Stronger, Faster and More Beautiful is a collection of stories focusing on the increasing medical advancements in body modifications from both life-saving and cosmetic sides, gene sequencing and general physical enhancements.

This is an interesting read separated into several parts/short stories each focusing on different characters - each one a little bit further in the future, and we as readers get to see the extent how technology is used to change human physiology.

As with most short story collections, I liked some parts better than others but I liked that all the parts had some connection to each other - such as Reverend Tadd showing up or being mentioned in pretty much every story. I did think the writing in this book was simpler than I expected it to be but I think that's not necessarily a bad thing for readers who may not ingest so much science fiction. This is a science fiction/dystopian book that's accessible for lots of different readers. However, having read my fair bit of science fiction (though not a whole lot) - the writing was a bit too simplistic for me, and the science too surface level. I feel like we got glimpses of how the science and tech work and not enough explanation of how it all came together.

There are some parts that I feel would be fantastic full-length novels on their own. The last part, Luck and Starlock's story could easily be stretched into a YA dystopian in my eyes, and one that would probably do pretty well. I also really loved the story about the young boy living underwater with manatees.
