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!

    Also, it's worth mentioning that Cory's got a new book out. You can read about (or download!) Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom online, or you can make Cory a buck and pick it up in dead tree form.

    He's enjoyed a few brief jumps up the best seller lists at Amazon. He's been up to the triple digits. It'd be cool to see him pushed into the double digits.

    This may be obvious, but try the print layout to skip paging and avoid the huge ads in the middle of the text.

    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.

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

    TOS shirt?!

    Oh Cory, why hast thou forsaken me?
