Original.
Review
"Kirn's The Unbinding merits our close attention, not only for itself the man is a talented writer but for what might be portended for the art of fiction." The Boston Globe
Review
"[A]s enjoyable as it is unique....Call it Phillip K. Dick with less paranoia and more humor....The prose retains the immediacy of its real-time authorship. The web links are available for clicking and surfing on the novel's website. It's proof that online or off, a good story is still a good story." Snowden Wright, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
Synopsis
Before AidSat I had no self, no soul. I was a billing address. A credit score. I had a TV, a computer, a phone, a car, an apartment, some furniture, and a health-club locker. Then AidSat hired me and gave me a life. And not just one life. Hundreds of them, thousands.
