CONTENT: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright and the Future of the Future Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/2883 urn:isbn:1892391813 en 2008 Non-Fiction Essay Collections <p>Hailed by Bruce Sterling as “a political activist, gizmo freak, junk collector, programmer, entrepreneur, and all-around Renaissance geek,” the Internet’s favorite high-tech culture maven is celebrated with the first collection of his infamous articles, essays, and polemics. Irreverently championing free speech and universal access to information—even if it's just a free download of the newest Britney Spears MP3—he leads off with a mutinous talk given at Microsoft on digital rights management, insisting that they stop treating their customers as criminals. Readers will discover how America chose Happy Meal toys over copyright, why Facebook is taking a faceplant, how the Internet is basically just a giant Xerox machine, why Wikipedia is a poor cousin of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and how to enjoy free e-books. Practicing what he preaches, all of the author's books, including this one, are simultaneously released in print and on the Internet under Creative Commons licenses that encourage their reuse and sharing. He argues persuasively that this practice has considerably increased his sales by enlisting readers to promote his work. Accessible to geeks and nontechies alike, this is a timely collection from an author who effortlessly surfs the zeitgeist while always generating his own wave.</p> Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/2883.png http://feedbooks.com/book/2883.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/2883.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/2883.mobi After the Siege Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/339 urn:isbn:1560259817 en 2007 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://feedbooks.com/book/339.png http://feedbooks.com/book/339.pdf http://feedbooks.com/book/339.epub http://feedbooks.com/book/339.mobi I, Robot Cory Doctorow http://feedbooks.com/book/337 urn:isbn:1560259817 en 2005 Short Fiction Science Fiction <p>"I, Robot" is a science-fiction short story by Cory Doctorow published in 2005. <br />The story is set in the type of police state needed to ensure that only one company is allowed to make robots, and only one type of robot is allowed. <br />The story follows single Father detective Arturo Icaza de Arana-Goldberg while he tries to track down his missing teenage daughter.
