Book: Down and out in the Magic Kingdom – Cory Doctorow

Well this was a wild ride. I’ve not read anything like this before.

I got a collection of eBooks of Cory Doctorow‘s novels on Humble Bundle. I was curious about his fiction work.

I think this book fits into the category of post-scarcity sci-fi. It’s Doctorow’s first novel and is actually released under a creative commons license, and can be read for free.

I started off very confused. There was a bunch of terminology early on – some of which I think was deliberately introduced early, and explained later. Some of which I just didn’t know because I don’t know much about Disneyland.

But I persevered, most things were explained, and it turned into quite a ride.

Very odd. Ended disappointingly. But worth a read.
