More NerdCore Science Fiction From Cory Doctorow

Posted by chrisd on from the joined-the-eff-yet dept.

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!

    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.

    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?!

    TEE OH ESS SHIRT?!

    Oh Cory, why hast thou forsaken me?
