“Doctorow not at his best here. The book is readable, but in hindsight I wouldn't have read it. Not as groundbreaking as down-and-out, or as timely and thought provoking as little brother.”

“ Cory Doctorow is one of those people who's always been around in the hacker scene, or even rather the cracker scene, feels to me a bit like Bruce Sterling--not directly involved but heavily indirectly involved. my perception's probably off. but he's a decent writer and having recently read his [u][a href="http://craphound.com/down/"] Down And Out in the Magic Kingdom[/a][/u] and enjoyed it, i had to check out his latest freely downloadable effort, since it was free and textual--i read it when i need a short break from work usually. it's not quite as compelling as [u]Down and Out...[/u] but it's enjoyable nonetheless, and full of novel thoughts about the socio-techno interactions of the future.”

“Doctorow's a lot angrier in this book. It's a very good read and he's still got his quirky sense of humor, but this one reads more like a Chuck Palahniuk/William Gibson mash-up. ”
