Cory Doctorow's Next "Garbage" Novel
Discovered Cory in a professional capacity, while searching the web for articles on Digital Rights Management. Joined his mailing list and this morning, over my coffee, read an excerpt from his next novel based on an indepth knowledge of ... junk. Couple of things that struck me as interesting apart from the story. :-) One, the excerpt is from a work in progress but it is online now. I found one typo in it--I can relate to that! An in initial blurb warns the work is one "in progress" and the actual words might change before it sees print. It was on something called "Fantastic Metropolis" hosted by MULTIVERSE.org. And it promotes a book soon to be in print, from Tor. Oh, yes, and it is set in Ontario. Cory's a fellow Canadian. About the text, it's an interesting read and definitely original. I can say with confidence that I have never read a story about a bunch of brothers parented by a washing machine and a mountain before. I liked the protagonist, Albert. Hope he copes.
