Download for FreeI’ve made six of the nine stories in the collection available for download here, under a Creative Commons license that allows you to copy the stories freely, provided that you do so for noncommercial purposes. As with my novel, I’ve shipped these stories without doomed, dumbass DRM, without use-restriction, and without requiring any kind of proprietary reader. These stories are available as ASCII text files (ASCII is the new PDF!). Want to convert them to something else? Go right ahead! I’d appreciate it if you’d upload them somewhere and post a link under the “additional formats” discussion area attached to each story. Craphound, 60k text file. A Place So Foreign, 120k text file. Return to Pleasure Island, 68k text file. Shadow of the Mothaship, 64k text file. Home Again, Home Again, 80k text file. The Super Man and the Bugout, 68k text file. Entire book for Java-enabled mobile phones (Thanks to Nicholas Bennett for preparing this) |
I have to say that being a new-comer to Doctorow’s work I was hooked from the first page. This is an extremely entertaining, rich, clever, engaging and well-written collection and the stories cover a mixture of topics and characters. In addition is an interesting introduction to each story from Doctorow himself so you can see where he gets his ideas from and how he works. I personally look forward to more from Cory Doctorow and would recommend him to anyone who would like to read something fresh, original, and just that little bit different.
