Teen Vogue
‘A work of unforgettable vision and imagination. This book is everything I love about science fiction’
Jay Kristoff
Are you ready for the future?
Black Mirror with a touch of Westworld re-wiring, STRONGER, FASTER, AND MORE BEAUTIFUL is a novel in six interconnected parts about what it means to be human – and where those boundaries lie.
Set in our world, spanning the near to distant future, the author, Arwen Elys Dayton, explores the possible consequences of advanced medical breakthroughs and how they may shape and reshape humanity. From organ donation to plastic surgery to full bodily reconstruction, these stories take you by your (for now, organic) hand and lead you into a future where the line between person and machine becomes increasingly blurred.
Deeply thoughtful, poignant, horrifying, and action-packed, this novel strikes new ground while also seeming so strangely… likely.
Just try to disconnect.

Liz W, Reviewer
This was a genuinely thought provoking and highly engaging set of six stories, imagining a future where bodily enhancement is off the scale, offering both huge advantage but also distinct ethical issues.
The author takes us into the future, first just a little and then further and further down a dark and twisted path for humanity. Each story tells the tale of one affected character, each is utterly compelling and intriguingly believable, offering up human drama on a quietly emotional scale.
Linked by one religious figure and his daughter, the lyrical and involving prose digs you deep into each separate narrative, from a quirky edgy kind of love story to the boy who talks with dolphins and beyond. Each separate tale is fascinating, darkly beautiful and will make you really consider how far might be just too far….
Stronger Faster and More Beautiful is a cautionary tale of our time, done with intuitively intelligent questioning, of the reader, of our world and of exactly what it is that makes us human.
Completely brilliant. Highly Recommended especially if you like your reading to challenge your thinking.
