More about Cory:

Cory Doctorow (craphound.com) is a science fiction novelist, blogger and
technology activist. He is the co-editor of the popular weblog Boing Boing
(boingboing.net), and a contributor to Wired, Popular Science, Make, the
New York Times, and many other newspapers, magazines and websites. He was
formerly Director of European Affairs for the Electronic Frontier
Foundation (eff.org), a non-profit civil liberties group that defends
freedom in technology law, policy, standards and treaties. In that
capacity, he worked to balance international treaties, polices and
standards on copyright and related rights, advocating in the halls of
governments, the United Nations, standards bodies, corporations,
universities and non-profit. Presently, he serves as the Fulbright Chair
at the Annenberg Center for Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern
California. His novels are published by Tor Books and simultaneously
released on the Internet under Creative Commons licenses that encourage
their re-use and sharing, a move that increases his sales by enlisting his
readers to help promote his work. He has won the Locus and Sunburst
Awards, and been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and British Science
Fiction Awards. He co-founded the open source peer-to-peer software
company OpenCola, sold to OpenText, Inc in 2003, and presently serves on
the boards and advisory boards of the Participatory Culture Foundation,
the MetaBrainz Foundation, Technorati, Inc, Stikkit, Annenberg Center for
the Study of Online Communities, SiteShuffle, and Onion Networks, Inc. His
latest novel is Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town.
