Free! Transcendence by Christopher McKitterick [PDF & EPUB]

Author Christopher McKitterick is giving away his novel Transcendence for free on his site (as well as selling paper copies of course).

Summary:
Quote:
Humankind rushes toward self-destruction and must evolve or die. Our perspective: a scientist exploring an alien artifact on Triton, a teen-aged hacker in a city gone mad, three actors manipulated into igniting interplanetary war, the de-facto ruler of half the solar system, a soldier fighting in Africa to entertain his audience, an artificial intelligence facing personal crisis, and a cast of billions.
One of the blurbs says it's a "cyberpunk/space opera/coming-of-age/new-wave philosophical action novel," so that's exciting.

Right now it's available in PDF format and he's planning on releasing other formats soon as well.

Update Dec. 1: ePub format is now available!
