Cory Doctorow (Muckrock)

Now available for the first time with two additional stories!Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be bitten by a zombie or live through a bioweapon attack? In Cory Doctorow’s collection of novellas, he wields his formidable experience in technology and computing to give us mind-bending sci-fi tales that explore the possibilities of information technology–and its various uses–run amok.-Anda’s Game- is a spin on the bizarre new phenomenon of -cyber sweatshops, - in which people are paid very low wages to play online games all day in order to generate in-game wealth, which can be converted into actual money. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of -sysadmins—systems administrators–as they defend the cyberworld, and hence the world at large, from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there is a story about zombies too. Plus, for the first time, this collection includes -Petard- and -The Man Who Sold the Moon.-
