Reviews

[Matthew Gleason]

One of my favorite short stories.

[Chris Couzens · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well that was a short short-story. Pages 1 and 2 were the story. Pages 2 and 3 were about the author.

It has the typical marks of a Cory Doctorow novel- oppressive regime, a hero who doesn't break, a teenage main character and makes you think about what it means to be free in the 21st century.

I enjoyed it while it lasted.

I heard it was great, thought it was a full novel, then I read that it was a short story, then I got it and found out it was the opening to what could be an incredible storyline. We all need to be able to make things. To fix and repair and build and create. That can't be licensed and locked away from us.

Hope it was picked up and continued in the later Overclocked stories.

I always like Cory Doctorow's work. This was just too short!

Perfect in his simplicity and follow through

See Overclocked (compendium of short stories/novelettes).

[Matteo Anelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Copyright and 3D printing in a dystopian future. It makes you think when in the real world people are still bitching about last century job systems and have zero perception that the world is changing faster than their minds.

It was an interesting idea, about the change in a society.

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short short-story, but important too.

Take 10 minutes out of your day to read it.

Short stories are cool and this is no exception. http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/19000 or http://archive.org/stream/printcrime1...

[Dylan Parry · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short story, but it builds up the world and characters well.

[Al Lock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short, sweet and to the point.

[Reinhold · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book? Book? Na, it's a short story, and even a short short story. But it was nice. Worth reading it. Probably should be the basis for a longer novel. Inspiring, but the introduction is as important as the story itself.

Have to stop here, not to exceed the word count of the story.
