Cory Doctorow (who? yeah) has released his first novel free on the internet.

It's a science fiction story of a possible future where all of the bad things have been eradicated. Death, sickness, energy costs, the need to work for a living, and more.

The site is here (http://www.craphound.com/down/).

You can download the book for free in HTML or PDF or ASCII format, or find out where to purchase it if you need to have it in on paper. (Or you can print it -- but it might be cheaper to buy it than replacing your print cartridge a couple times.)

I'm reading the first chapter right now, and it's interesting so far.

I finished reading it. It's short.

It's amusing, interesting, and sprinkles some online lingo throughout, like "fuxored".

Worth the read.

I give it an 8 out of 10, for a novelette.
