Hello! I’m Henry Blodget. I’m a journalist and author. Thank you for your interest.
This site is for my independent writing and speaking work. For example, I’ve written a novel called The Upgrade, which is currently in beta release and available here. For updates on this and other personal and writing projects, please sign up for my email here:
I also write and speak about tech, business, markets, investing, and other topics. You can see that at my new publication, Regenerator, or here.
My full bio is here.
The Upgrade
The Upgrade is a contemporary tech thriller. It’s about a billionaire who wants to live forever and take over the world. (Sound familiar?)
The story is set in Nantucket. It starts with a plane crash and ends with an explosion. It pits modern technology against the very things that make us human: Life, love, death, and family.
“Unforgettable.”
— Claude
The beta edition is available here. The book will released this spring.
