Wow. I've been wanting to read this since perusing through N. Barron's Anatomy of Wonder. Iirc, he put an asterisk next to it meaning it was basically Hot Stuff. Thanks for the link!!
Ric, here ya go buddy: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...I'm not sure why there are so many (so far) low Goodreads ratings. I definitely found it very worthwhile. But, hey, that's me.
BTW, I *think* that someone posted the full text - of all places - on Facebook.
I looked further:https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cl...
It's the text of the book. Life should always be so good!!



"HiLo Books has just reissued a long-forgotten science fiction classic, E.V. Odle's 1923 novel The Clockwork Man. It may be the first cyborg story ever published. It's also the first book to explore the idea of uploads, and the technological Singularity. Plus, it's also about liberated 1920s women!"
Sounds like a long lost classic.
