Synopsis

*The Man Inside* is a novel of startling originality. It could be read as a parody of the Horatio Alger story - the orphan boy whose struggles lead him down and down until success comes at the bottom. Or a Kafkaesque pursuit of Purpose, the ceaseless quest for the meaning of life - always baffled by the cruel traps of manking. Or a journney toward wisdom - in the manner of Herman Hesse - that culminates oddly: *satori* achieved inside a robot. But such suggestions can give only a faint indication of the strange and haunting power of *The Man Insid*e. *from the frontispiece*
