Reviews
“Wickedly entertaining, a brilliant book: caustically funny, and-by its closing chapter-surprisingly moving.” –Scott Smith, author of The Ruins “Using precision-engineered prose, Max Barry has built a gleaming, terrifying device: part love story, part horror story, part thought experiment, all entertaining.” –Charles Yu, author of How To Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe “A meticulously devised, deviant little parable–once it starts, you can’t look away.” –Austin Grossman, author of Soon I Will Be Invincible

Synopsis
Scientist Charles Neumann loses a leg in an industrial accident. It’s not a tragedy. It’s an opportunity. Charlie always thought his body could be better. He begins to explore a few ideas. To build parts. Better parts. Prosthetist Lola Shanks loves a good artificial limb. In Charlie, she sees a man on his way to becoming artificial everything. But others see a madman. Or a product. Or a weapon. A story for the age of pervasive technology, Machine Man is a gruesomely funny unraveling of one man’s quest for ultimate self-improvement.
