review 1: Cory Doctorow is a one message pony. That doesn't mean I didn't like his stories. I enjoy seeing how many different ways he can tell us that we shouldn't trust authority. I read this collection of short stories via DailyLit, an email subscription service, getting a bit more than a page a day. Some of the stories warranted asking for the next segment right away. Some I just read at the regular pace. I think having them spaced out more helped keep me from being annoyed at his one message. Sometimes I want stories to be more than just another example of how people will screw everything up.
review 2: These are great stories for the computer generation,the language is totally 21st century and the concepts and expressions are just the way the 30somethings communicate... more.Beeing a bit past that age group I'm proud of myself for understanding most of what the author implied with the story about Google in chapter 4:Scroogled.It's all a little Orvellian to me and I have to concentrate much too hard for this to be entertaining reading. less
