I love it, I absolutely love it! Writer Max Barry is already 43 pages into Machine Man, his thriller-novella that's being posted online page by page (for FREE) daily. The book caught the attention of Mandalay Pictures who picked up film rights to the thriller that Vantage Books plans to publish in 2011. You can read it yourself by clicking here. While the story is being kept secret (as he says, "I'm not telling"), the gist of it concerns a tech engineer who's tired of going through life average and unnoticed, so he replaces parts of his body with titanium upgrades of his own design. He then discovers that he isn't the only one with plans for his new body. If only I had time to read get involved, it sounds pretty incredible.
FYI -- Only the first 43 pages where free, after Max figured out that the story had wings and could turn out decent they started charging for the rest of it. Page 156 was published this morning. At 6.95, I had no problem paying for it, and continuing to read a page a day.
