Cory's latest short story -- CC-licensed, on Salon, all about gaming
Cory Doctorow:...Salon has just published a brand-new short story of mine, called "Anda's Game," which is a riff on the way that property-rights are coming to games, and on the bizarre spectacle of sweat-shops in which children are paid to play the game all day in order to generate eBay-able game-wealth. When I was a kid, there were arcade kings who would play up Gauntlet characters to maximum health and weapons and then sell their games to nearby players for a dollar or two -- netting them about $0.02 an hour -- but this is a very different proposition indeed.
There are a lot of firsts in this story:
- It's the first story I've written since moving to the UK, and the story is told from the point of view of an English girl...
Superb story from the now UK based Doctorow - go read
