Cory Doctorow rocks! I check his blog about ten times a day, because he's always one of the first to
notice a major incursion from the social-technological-pop-cultural future, and his voice is a compelling
vehicle for news from the future. Down and Out in The Magic Kingdom is about a world that is visible in
its outlines today, if you know where to look, from reputation systems to peer-to-peer adhocracies.
Doctorow knows where to look, and how to word-paint the rest of us into the picture.

Doctorow is more than just a sick mind looking to twist the perceptions of those whose realities remain
uncorrupted - though that should be enough recommendation to read his work. *Down and Out in the
Magic Kingdom* is black comedic, sci-fi prophecy on the dangers of surrendering our consensual
hallucination to the regime. Fun to read, but difficult to sleep afterwards.

"Wow! Disney imagineering meets nanotechnology, the reputation economy, and Ray Kurzweil's
transhuman future. As much fun as Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, and as packed with mind bending
ideas about social changes cascading from the frontiers of science."

 Doctorow has created a rich and exciting vision of the future, and then wrote a page-turner of a story in
it. I couldn't put the book down.
