When we first meet him, brilliant scientist Charlie Neumann has a brain more like a computer, zero social skills and he’s about to lose a leg. He works for the Better Future corporation and the company does everything it can for him, even paying for a top-of-the-line replacement limb. As Charlie improves under the care of Lola Shanks he doesn’t concern himself with how he came to have the accident. He just wants to get back to work and redesign his pathetic prosthetic.
Soon Charlie’s leg can think for itself and he’s thinking of upgrading the rest of him and Better Future are keen to have him do just that. Along the way Charlie creates his own little monsters – a team of enhanced lab assistants who have no idea when to stop pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human. Machine Man is a hybrid of thriller, snarky nerd humour, a love story and some serious corporate greed.
