In these quirky, brashly engaged “stories of the future present” Cory Doctorow shows us life from the point-of-view of the plugged-in generation and makes it feel like a totally alien world. — Claude Lalumiere, Montreal Gazette

“Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present” is a collection of short stories by Cory Doctorow. It consists of:

• Printcrime
• When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth (my personal favorite)
• Anda’s Game
• I, Robot
• I, Row-Boat
• After the Siege

Since Cory publishes all of his work under the Creative Commons license, you can download all the short stories for free, in various formats. I read all of them on my Treo 680 using iSilo.

If, after reading “Overclocked” you want more, I highly recommend “Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.” You’ll never look at Disney World the same way again.
