How do I read it?

Read the first few pages online, and pretty soon you'll catch up to a live feed. This will offer you two main ways to get the rest delivered: by news feed or by email.

You can also just keep reading online. If you catch up to me ("Page not ready!"), you can bookmark this page (or, for mobile devices with small screens, this one) and keep checking for new pages. But then I would have done all this web coding for nothing. You might as well slap me in the face.

How often are there new pages?

Five days a week: Monday to Friday.

It's not working properly on my device!

Please email me to let me know! I want to fix any glitches.

What format are pages?

They're HTML, which means you don't need anything special to view them. They are not locked up with one of those terribly clever Digital Rights Management schemes that works exactly once before deciding you're a pirate. I am not a fan of those.

Why do I want to own it?

Because you get to read the whole thing. Also, you get your very own feed, which you can control. You can rewind and pause. You can reach the end and start again from any point, or give it to a friend to read from the beginning. It's your book, served one page at a time.

Will it work forever?

Yes, for a practical definition of "forever." If the internet is rendered obsolete by new pigeon-carrier technology or something similar that makes it unfeasible to maintain this delivery mechanism, I'll put up a free download of the entire serial for subscribers.

How do I buy it?

What an excellent question. Buy your own Machine Man feed here!
