WARNING: The story that I link to below is a work of Science-Fiction, and contains some profanity, so gentle reader if you are one whose sensibilities are offended easily, please do not follow it.

I have just read a wonderful short story by Cory Doctorow winner of the John W. Campbell Award for best new science fiction writer at the 2000 Hugos.

In a word the story is brilliant and flows well. I was completely engaged from the moment I began until the moment it ended... much too soon. I am now stoked to read his first published work Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, on sale now from TOR. To find out more information about the story, buy it, or... today is a good day to be alive, Downoad it For Free, click here to go to Cory's site.

But please for the love of all that is holy purchase the man's work, and encourage the free exchange of information. If we don't step up and represent, there will be very few authors willing to use this publishing model.

For more information on the licensing model Cory is using travel over here.
