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.
