Next on Copper Robot: Cory Doctorow returns

[Mitch Wagner]

Our friend Cory Doctorow, blogger at Boing Boing and Internet
activist, returns Thursday to talk about his new novel, which goes on
sale this week. "For the Win" is the near-future story of a group of
gold farmers, the drudges who labor to make online games fun for
wealthy players, and their fight against their gangster bosses.

In addition to blogging and writing fiction, Cory is a journalist for
the UK paper The Guardian and other outlets, and is an outspoken
advocate for Internet rights and sensible intellectual property
policy. We'll talk to Cory about those things and more.

Cory's previous novel, published last year, is "Makers," which tells
the story of a tight-knit group of hackers working to survive and
thrive and stay happy in a near-future economic collapse. You can buy
the book, or find interviews and other related information and
merchandise, at the Makers Web page.
