Cory Doctorow has been involved

January 10, 2003 by Michael Boyle

Cory Doctorow has been involved

in a whole bunch of different things in the past couple of years, but when I first came across the guy a couple of years ago (FOAF) he was mostly a budding science fiction writer. Add to that entrepreneur, activist, blogger extraordinaire, and it seems a dozen other things, but in the end it still comes back to his fiction I guess. This week Cory published his first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, and it seems to be a tremendous success. He’s testing a model I think is very smart too – offering a free version to download on the principal that it doesn’t reduce sales but increases sales. I know I’m buying it; you should too.
