Summary
Summary
The Unincorporated Man is a provocative social/political/economic novel that takes place in the future, after civilization has fallen into complete economic collapse. This reborn civilization is one in which every individual is incorporated at birth and spends many years trying to attain control over his or her own life by getting a majority of his or her own shares. Life extension has made life very long indeed.Now the incredible has happened: a billionaire businessman from our time, frozen in secret in the early twenty-first century, is discovered and resurrected, given health and a vigorous younger body. Justin Cord is the only unincorporated man in the world, a true stranger in this strange land. Justin survived because he is tough and smart. He cannot accept only part ownership of himself, even if that places him in conflict with a civilization that extends outside the solar system to the Oort Cloud.
People will be arguing about this novel and this world for decades.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Reminiscent of Heinlein—a good, old-fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn. Bravo!” —Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award-winning author of Rollback
“Will appeal to Heinlein’s legions of fans with its themes of personal liberty and one man’s political struggle with the State…The Unincorporated Man will tantalize you in with its intriguing premise.” —i09.com
“Fans of SF as a vehicle for ideas will devour this intriguing debut…The Kollin brothers keep the plot moving briskly despite the high proportion of talk to action. Their cerebral style will especially appeal to readers nostalgic for science fiction’s early years.” —Publishers Weekly
“The Kollin brothers’ first novel, chosen as a Sci Fi Essential Book, recalls the emphasis on freedom of the early works of Heinlein and the cutting-edge social commentary of William Gibson and Fritz Lieber. A good choice for most libraries.” —Library Journal
“In this striking variation from first-time novelists Dani and Eytan Kollin, the clash between today’s cultural values and those of a vividly imagined future has never been more compelling…The Kollin brothers’ debut captivates with unforgettable characters and an ingenious vision of the economic future.” —Booklist
[Listeners] will devour this intriguing debut. —Publishers Weekly
