by Dani Kollin & Eytan KollinEdited by David G. Hartwell Review by Andrew Brooks Tor Books Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 9780765318992 Date: 17 March 2009 List Price $25.95 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Article / Listen, times are tough. But the future as imagined by the brothers Kollin in The Unincorporated Man redefines personal financial responsibility. Set in a future America where the government has just about been wholly privatized, Unincorporated posits what it would be like where people are incorporated from birth. Your stocks up, your stocks down, takes on a whale of a different meaning in this book. In this economy it's not about how much stock you own of others, but of how much stock in your portfolio consists of self. It's all about achieving majority. From official release/information: Product Description: 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. (Source: Tor Books)
