Cory Doctorow Books Overview

Little Brother

Marcus, aka w1n5t0n, is only seventeen years old, but he gures he already knows how the system works and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends nd themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison, where they re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS nally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state, where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself. Can one teenage hacker ght back against a government out of control? Maybe, but only if he s really careful…
and very, very smart.

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Jules is a young man barely a century old. He’s lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies…
and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World. Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long ago twentieth century, now in the keeping of a network of volunteers who keep the classic rides and attractions running. Now, though, a new group has taken over the Hall of Presidents, and is replacing its audioanimatronics with brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World. Worse: this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. It’s only his fourth death and revival, after all. Now it’s war for the soul of the Magic Kingdom! Bursting with cutting edge speculation and warm human insights, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom reads like Neal Stephenson meets Nick Hornby: a coming of age romantic comedy and a kick butt cybernetic tour de force.

Eastern Standard Tribe

A comedy of loyalty, betrayal, sex, madness, and music swapping
Art is an up and coming interface designer, working on the management of data flow along the Massachusetts Turnpike. He’s doing the best work of his career and can guarantee that the system will be, without a question, the most counterintuitive, user hostile piece of software ever pushed forth onto the world.

Why? Because Art is an industrial saboteur. He may live in London and work for an EU telecommunications megacorp, but Art’s real home is the Eastern Standard Tribe.

Instant wireless communication puts everyone in touch with everyone else, twenty four hours a day. But one thing hasn’t changed: the need for sleep. The world is slowly splintering into Tribes held together by a common time zone, less than family and more than nations. Art is working to humiliate the Greenwich Mean Tribe to the benefit of his own people. But in a world without boundaries, nothing can be taken for granted not happiness, not money, and most certainly not love.

Which might explain why Art finds himself stranded on the roof of an insane asylum outside Boston, debating whether to push a pencil into his brain…
.

Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town

Alan is a middle aged entrepeneur in contemporary Toronto, who has devoted himself to fixing up a house in a bohemian neighborhood. This naturally brings him in contact with the house full of students and layabouts next door, including a young woman who, in a moment of stress, reveals to him that she has wings wings, moreover, which grow back after each attempt to cut them off. Alan understands. He himself has a secret or two. His father is a mountain; his mother is a washing machine; and among his brothers are a set of Russian nesting dolls. Now two of the three nesting dolls, Edward and Frederick, are on his doorstep well on their way to starvation, because their innermost member, George, has vanished. It appears that yet another brother, Davey, who Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have returned…
bent on revenge. Under such circumstances it seems only reasonable for Alan to involve himself with a visionary scheme to blanket Toronto with free wireless Internet connectivity, a conspiracy spearheaded by a brilliant technopunk who builds miracles of hardware from parts scavenged from the city’s dumpsters. But Alan’s past won’t leave him alone and Davey is only one of the powers gunning for him and all his friends.

Makers

What does the future look like? A brilliantly entertaining and original novel about the end of the economy from the visionary author of Little Brother. Perry and Lester invent things. All sorts of things. Seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars. They also invent an entirely new economic system. ‘New Work’ is a New Deal for the technological era. Soon barefoot bankers are criss crossing the nation, microinvesting in high tech communal start ups like Perry and Lester’s. Together they transform a country, and journalist Suzanne Church is there to document it. But a new economic system requires a whole new belief system and there are plenty of non believers out there. The New Work bust puts the dot. com bomb to shame and soon Perry and Lester are out of funds and out of business. Down but not out, they go back to what they do best making stuff. But when a rogue Disney executive grows jealous of their once more soaring popularity and convinces the police that their amazing 3 D printers are being used to run off AK 47s, things get very dark very quickly! This brilliantly entertaining and original novel from the visionary author of Little Brother fizzes with bold ideas about the future and how our lives will look as part of it. But at its heart are three characters, Perry, Lester and Suzanne, on an unforgettable journey that will bring them together only to break them apart as they each try to discover how to live meaningfully in an ever changing world filled with both beauty and horror where some things really are immutable!

For the Win

In the virtual future, you must organize to surviveAt any hour of the day or night, millions of people around the globe are engrossed in multiplayer online games, questing and battling to win virtual gold, jewels, and precious artifacts.

Mala is a brilliant 15 year old from rural India whose leadership skills in virtual combat have earned her the title of General Robotwalla. In Shenzen, heart of China s industrial boom, Matthew is defying his former bosses to build his own successful gold farming team. Leonard, who calls himself Wei Dong, lives in Southern California, but spends his nights fighting virtual battles alongside his buddies in Asia, a world away. All of these young people, and more, will become entangled with the mysterious young woman called Big Sister Nor, who will use her experience, her knowledge of history, and her connections with real world organizers to build them into a movement that can challenge the status quo. The ruthless forces arrayed against them are willing to use any means to protect their power including blackmail, extortion, infiltration, violence, and even murder. To survive, Big Sister s people must out think the system. This will lead them to devise a plan to crash the economy of every virtual world at once a Ponzi scheme combined with a brilliant hack that ends up being the biggest, funnest game of all. Imbued with the same lively, subversive spirit and thrilling storytelling that made LITTLE BROTHER an international sensation, For the Win is a prophetic and inspiring call to arms for a new generation
