This is a solid collection of articles written by Doctorow for his blog, I believe. It's a mix focused around technology and creativity, with an emphasis on copyright and information security. Some were of more interest than others. If you're a fan of his work, you'll probably enjoy his insight on the topics. If you're not, I'd recommend picking up some of his fiction. It's well-written and clear that he spends a lot of time researching topics like the ones in these articles. I think already being a fan of his work makes reading his non-fiction musings more enjoyable. ( ) Not so much brain candy as brain popcorn - Doctorow, as a blogger/columnist, writes very short-form essays and while they contain great ideas, they can only have so much substance. However, still totally enjoyable and what I assume is a pretty good introduction to his non-fiction work (I wonder if his first collection of essays wouldn't be better, but the library has just bought this one so far). I'm glad that such cool people are thinking hard about the intersection of culture and technology (and moreover, acting on their beliefs as artists - Doctorow releases all his novel under Creative Commons licenses). I will definitely be adding him to my collection of information science-y blogs and checking out his novels. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
One of the web's most celebrated high-tech culture mavens returns with this second collection of essays and polemics. Discussing complex topics in an accessible manner, Cory Doctorow's visions of a future where artists have full freedom of expression is tempered with his understanding that creators need to benefit from their own creations. From extolling the Etsy makerverse to excoriating Apple for dumbing down technology while creating an information monopoly, each unique piece is brief, witty, and at the cutting edge of tech. Now a stay-at-home dad as well as an international activist, Doctorow writes as eloquently about creating real-time Internet theater with his daughter as he does while lambasting the corporations that want to profit from inherent intellectual freedoms.
