A quick read that's fun and informative, as usual with Cory Doctorow's non-fic work? I dunno. I find myself admiring his clarity of thought and general well-informedness. Dude is smart. Sometimes I get a bit worried when he gets into my territory (economics), cuz I always instinctively worry about non-econ people reading up to Econ 101 or Econ 201 and then thinking they've Figured It All Out (hallo, libertarians!). Thankfully, Cory doesn't really fall into this trap; most of his observations/prescriptions re: incentives, copyright, legality, Internettery, etc, are sharp and on-point.
