HTML: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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I loved the characters. The main character is a mechanical engineer, and AFAIK he's just fine. I mean, it's satire. The characters are meant to be stereotypes and exaggerations of stereotypes.
The action and plotting got a bit out of hand at the end, but I expect that from Barry. His older output usually delves into horrific, but humorous, slapstick. It's great if that's your kind of thing. It's clearly mine. (
