It’s no secret that I have a secret (?!) love affair with the written works of Cory Doctorow. It’s also pretty safe to say that I’m not alone, with a lot of folks with important sounding names touting him as the best thing to happen to sci-fi in a long-ti. I totally just made that long-ti word up, but the fact preceding it is true as heck.

A few of his stories have been recorded as audio books, by way of the podcast method. Bloody clever. The most recent book to cop the treatment is Anda’s Game; “… a story about in-game sweatshops, child labo[u]r, obesity, exploitation and community online”. I just read it between projects at work right now (okay, so I was slacking off), and it’s excellent. But as I said, if you can’t be arsed reading it, then check out the podcast. In fact, let me know how it is — I haven’t listened to it yet.

Just about all of Doctorow’s stories are available for free, and in various formats, on his website. Do yourself a favour.
