More NerdCore Science Fiction From Cory Doctorow

Andrew Leonard writes "Cory Doctorow has published a new short story in Salon. This time around, he's imagined a cyberpunk wi-fi future, with spectrum cops, a mobile multinational startup, and guerilla warfare on Indian reservations. Readers who liked his previous story, "0wnz0red" will undoubtedly savor this one." We've posted things about Cory before, but I personally enjoy his writing, so here's more!

Wi-Fi is the Never Ending Buzzword (tm)!

Re:Average writing skill

Why anyone would compare his stuff to the likes of HHGTTG or Snow Crash is beyond me.

Maybe they had great difficulty getting through those books also.

Nerdcore?

By that do you mean nerds' porn or nerd porn? Like goatse?

Bleh

More self-aggrandizing tripe. This is the crap I churned out in my high school writing class when I was insecure about myself, so the hero was always an idealized me.

Just because you have a blog and hang on to the coat-tails of every popular 'net movement, doesn't mean you're an author worth your salt.

Sub-average posting skill

[mjang]

Your ability to post a negative comment about someone who has spent a lot of time on something they care about (and giving it away for free) is rather average. It's hardly worth the score 5 you currently have. The over-capitalization of words and excruciatingly uninspired or thought-provoking critique really does not matter.

Nowadays, everyone with a slashdot account thinks they're a critic!

Well, they just showed a shot of him. Thick black glasses, flat top, blue Star Trek : TOS shirt, no hat.

TOS shirt?!

TOS shirt?!

TEE OH ESS SHIRT?!

Oh Cory, why hast thou forsaken me?

I KNOW

Subversion is so much more cyberpunk, man.
