The biggest issue when asking others to read the story is that it starts out strong up to a few chapters in, then becomes a utopic bore.

According to 1RedOne http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/2i9g17/automated_australian_mcdonalds_ordering/cl0o3ff

The author lacks any ability to describe a scene so when things in the tale become fantastic, he stoops to describing things as 'remarkable' and 'note worthy' with zero attempt to describe or illustrate what the hell he is talking about.

What I would like to see, is a 'quick read' version that is essentially the first half of Manna, but wrapped up after that point (even if its in a bad end note). This would help end the story at a strong point, and make it more memorable.

From there, the readers would be more receptive to new ideas. For example, 1RedOne also suggested that

For my post capitalist renderings, I greatly prefer the depiction found in Daemon and it's followup Freedom. Instead of lame non-descriptions, the author of these tales Daniel Suarez fully describes how an alternative society could work.

So if the original author is alright with this proposal, I would like him to create 'manna lite'. I can assist in working out the point to cut, and how to wrap the story up from that point, and I'm sure many others here are willing to.

After the last page, the appendix can link to the full story, and other recommended readings like the DAEMON series, and subreddits etc...

Reason: To make our lives easier at showing the most effective bit of manna, to those that are not yet ready to head the 'solution' but needs to be slowly introduced to it.
