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.
