Cory Doctorow announced the publication of his new collection of short stories on the famous Boing Boing, the "directory of wonderful things." You can see for yourself how wonderful- or not- the collection is either by buying the book, or by reading it for free under a Creative Commons license which Doctorow summarizes as "Take 'em, send them around, convert them to new formats, make new and cool things out of them -- but don't charge money for them without talking to me."
In typical Doctorow fashion, the stories are available for free in practically every digital format known to man. So far I've read the first Dickensian science fiction tale, "Printcrime," in pdf on my mac. Next up, "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth" in Mobipocket on my handheld. I'll have reviews of the stories over the coming weeks. To learn more about Doctorow's policy of giving his work away for free, check out my previous post on Doctorow.
