Max Barry - Definition and Overview

Max Barry (born March 18, 1973) is the Australian author of Syrup (his pen name for that novel was Maxx Barry for satirical, not pretentious, purposes) and Jennifer Government. He is also the creator of NationStates (a game created to help advertise Jennifer Government).

Barry's third novel, a corporate satire entitled Company, is expected to be published in 2005. In the November issue of the magazine Fast Company the novel was ranked at number 8 on a list of the top 100 “people, ideas, and trends that will change how we work and live in 2005.” [1] (http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/88/fast-forward-index.html)

In early 2004 Barry converted his web site to a weblog and began regularly posting to it.
