Ok, that looks awesome. I will absolutely be grabbing that (been looking for a book to read since i finished reading "JOIN ME: The true story of a man who started a cult by accident." by Danny Wallace.

Plus, its Cory Doctorow. Smile

I read Little Brother the other day, and greatly enjoyed it. I downloaded a free copy but now I'm thinking I need to go out and buy one - it really was very good.

Little Brother is fabulous. I was 4 hours late to school the day after reading it. Think I put it down about 4 AM.

For anyone who wants to know, the very back has some good info. Gives different websites and names for the different "hacking"/code stuff you see in the story. Just in case anyone didn't want to buy, but wanted the info. But I highly recommend getting the book. Great read!

Hey, thanks for the recommendation. Looking forward to reading it. I started writing a book about virtual reality (a la Neuromancer), but then discovered ARGs, which is much better suited to my purposes.

The king of alternate reality fiction, though it predated ARGs, is, imho, Philip K. Dick. Any PKD fans among alternate reality gamers?
