		Down And Out in the Magic Kingdom is a 2003 science fiction book, the first novel by Canadian author and digital-rights activist Cory Doctorow.
		Probably its most notable feature is the fact that, concurrent with its publication by Tor Books, the entire text of the novel was released under a Creative Commons license on Doctorow's website, allowing the whole text of the book to be read for free and distributed without his or his publisher's permission.
		The narrator of the book, Jules, has fulfilled his childhood dream of living at Disney World, which, since corporations no longer exist, is now run by rival ad-hoc committees, each dedicated to providing the best experience to the park's visitors and competing for the Whuffie the guests offer.

		I read Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom during breaks from work this week, and it's a hell of a book.
		The closest thing I can think of to Down and Out in style would probably be Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy(otherwise known as some of the best sci-fi I've ever read while at the same time having the worst ending I've encountered in any genre or medium ever, period).
		Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom doesn't suffer from a horrible ending.

		The Magic Kingdom was all closed up and every last guest had been chased out the gate underneath the Main Street train station, and we were able to breathe a heavy sigh of relief, shuck parts of our costumes, and relax together while the cicadas sang.
		I was more than a century old, but there was still a kind of magic in having my arm around the warm, fine shoulders of a girl by moonlight, hidden from the hustle of the cleaning teams by the turnstiles, breathing the warm, moist air.
		It was one of her favorite duties, exploring every inch of the rides in her care with the lights on, after the horde of tourists had gone.

	Review of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
		Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Cory Doctorow's first novel, is in the first place a story about a milieu, and in the second a story about an idea.
		Yes, there are characters and an "event", but neither of those elements are as well-developed as the environment and the ideas that go with it.
		Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom takes place in a world where technology has solved life's ills--literally.

		How the Magic Kingdom has managed to maintain its charm and appeal over the years is a lesson in simplicity.
		The Magic Kingdom is divided into five distinct areas (lands), arranged in a spoke-like formation, all meeting at the top of Main Street USA right in front of Cinderella Castle.
		A vast network of underground tunnels connect all sections of the Magic Kingdom, thus preventing guests from seeing any of the necessary "behind the scenes" operations, and preventing cast members from one land from having to walk through another.

		inkwell.vue.174 : Cory Doctorow: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
		In January, Tor Books published his first novel, "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" (http://www.craphound.com/down), a novel that explores the twisty possibilities of economics in a world without scarcity, wherein the staff of Walt Disney World battle one another for control over the destiny of the rides.
		I noticed that both "Down and Out" and your forthcoming novel "Eastern Standard Tribe" are infused with the same core themes -- the interest in peer to peer networking and the emergent economics of non-scarce resources, and also ad-hoc networking of groups of people seeking related goals through alliances of convenience.

		Set a century or two in the future, Down and Out features an irresistible meritocratic utopia where society’s difficulties have been solved by the simple eradication of death, disease, poverty, and want.
		The Down and Out world is run by “ad hocs,” small groups cobbled together to solve specific problems, rather than by long-standing power-hungry bureaucracies.
		Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is Cory Doctorow’s first novel.

	Cory Doctorow: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
		Practically all Doctorow's action is set in the Magic Kingdom, a place which seems tame compared to the changes Doctorow has wrought in the world at large.
		One of the things that is clear is that for all of Jules’s focus on the Magic Kingdom during the course of the novel, he had a life (or lives) prior to the book (he is nearly a century old when it begins).
		Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is an enjoyable novel with several really interesting ideas.

	Out of the Clouds by Walter C. Lanyon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The WORD is going out, "I shall pour out My blessings on all mankind." The richness of this Love has come to you, and "He careth for you." Nothing else matters.
		His daring in going one step further, and locating the Kingdom of Heaven within you, was to completely undermine the very foundation of a time-honored religion, whose only claim to life was a lot of promises of heaven and happiness after death.
		The one who is out of step with the regiment may yet be walking in time to the music he hears, but he will constantly feel the discord of the great rhythmic beat, to which he does not belong, and yet to which he is so strangely attached.
