Who Knew Cory Doctorow Was a Closet WAAGNFNPer?
Wil Wheaton pointed me (and everyone else in the geek universe) over to Cory Doctorow's 2007 Locus Award-winning novelette When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth. A very good, relatively quick read, with a well-handled mix of humor, tragedy, pathos, and the like--not to mention well worth the time you spend thinking about it as well as casting your eyes over it. About halfway through I realized that Doctorow belongs in the WAAGNFNP. A very belated realization, given some of his themes over at boing boing, but better late than never. I'll leave the recruiting to Oaktown Girl!
