Cory Doctorow, self-described “renaissance geek,” is probably best known for his website boingboing.net and for his work with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Raised by Trotskyist schoolteachers in the wilds of Canada, Doctorow began selling fiction when he was 17, and published a small handful of stories through the early and mid 1990s. His best-known story, “Craphound,” appeared in 1998, and he won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2000. Doctorow’s first novel, Down and Out In the Magic Kingdom, was published to good reviews in early 2003 and was followed by collections A Place So Foreign and Eight More and Overclocked, and novels Eastern Standard Tribe and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. Doctorow is currently working on two novels, usr/bin/god and Themepunks.  His latest novel is Little Brother. He is also the co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Science Fiction with Karl Schroeder. The story that follows is the first in a series of stories that use the titles of famous SF short stories that Doctorow began after Ray Bradbury voiced his disapproval of filmmaker Michael Moore appropriating the title of his novel Fahrenheit 451. It’s been followed by Hugo Award nominatee “I, Robot”, and “I, Row-boat”.
