	spilog » Blog Archive » Cory Doctorow @ MIT
		Cory makes some of the best analogies I have heard about the history of art and where it should go in the future.
		I can see why he is sought to provide explanations to government officials about why copyright/ip law//freedom needs to be balanced and why the current media conglomerates are pushing to make it impossible for the natural evolution of art to take place.
		Cory gave props to Neil Gaiman for creating a conversation with his readers and making Neil’s work that much harder for a random author to replace Neil’s place in any given readers mind.

	O'Reilly Network -- An Interview with Cory Doctorow
		Doctorow's funny, clever, and inventive when he puts in the effort ("Down and Out"), but I get the feeling that's more of a rarity for him than a practice.
		Doctorow, then I expect to be reading about the tropes Card uses in Ender's Game and how fundamental tensions and inconsistencies arise from language in relation to the arguments laid out in the text.
		Mr Doctorow, you may at some point grow enough that you're able to set your own politics aside long enough and realize that writing literature that's any good, in any genre, is not possible for any length of time at 30 minutes per day.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
		Cory Doctorow was born in Toronto, in 1971.
		Cory Doctorow deserves a lot of credit for writing a book like Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, because he could have written an easier book, a tamer book, a book that wasn't so goofy or passionate or so every which way, so loose.
		Doctorow goes even farther, applying the lessons of science fiction not to all things medieval and Tolkienesque, but to the slipperier streams of oddball contemporary fantasy, the landscapes of Kelly Link and Jonathan Lethem and R.A. Lafferty.

		Howard Rheingold's Smart Mobs is not the first book to be written about the ad-hocratic times we find ourselves living in, and it won't be the last, but page for page, you won't find a better summing-up of all the disparate bitzenpieces that add up to a genuine social revolution.
		This book is required reading for this decade, the kind of prescient text that we'll look back on in 2012 as a milestone on the path to the next iteration of human living.

	Daring Fireball: Trusted
		When I told a few friends this week that I planned to write about Doctorow’s outburst, several indicated that I shouldn’t bother, more or less on the grounds that Doctorow deserves to be cut a bit of slack because his heart is in the right place.
		Doctorow is clearly ascribing deviousness onto Apple, without a single shred of evidence to back it up.
		In his usual lucid way, Cory goes on to explain why open data is more important than free software, and how the proposed DRM cuts to the heart of the essential freedom to switch to another program, or another computer.
