Friday, July 15. 2005Free books!
You may or may not know who Cory Doctrow is. If you're a regular reader of /., you've probably heard his name come up from time to time. If, like myself, you're heavily involved in the relatively small community of people who are actively trying to change the way the world looks at books, he's one of our most active leaders.
Most relevant to this article is the fact that he's an author who willingly provides all of his books on the Internet for free download. Others have joined him, now, but it's still a pretty new idea. I really enjoyed his book Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, although there's a hint of a memory that says it may have had some mildly graphic material in it, so be warned. You can find his latest book, "Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town", here. Also, there's Accelerando, by Chuck Stross, who also write the acclaimed SciFi novel "Singularity Sky". And, as previously pointed out, there's always Autonomy, one of the more original SciFi books I've read in the past 15 years. I hope you all find something to enjoy in the above! Have a great weekend, and hope to see you all on Monday! Trackbacks
