Source Guru

Now, It’s probably obvious to anyone reading this blog what my thoughts on Open Source and Licencing are, so I won’t go into that. However, I’ve recently found a new author, who I’m liking a LOT.

His name is Cory Doctorow, and after reading some of his short stories, I thought I’d look into his longer stuff. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a fan of feedbooks.com – and, as an author who’s releasing his works under a Creative Commons licence, his stuff is also there.

I started reading one of his books called “Little Brother” (http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2466). I read the intro, and I was hooked.

It’s kind of hard to explain what I mean, so I’d suggest if you’re interested, goto the link above, and click on the PDF link, then read pages 4 through 12 (the introduction/foreword to the book) and you’ll see what I mean.

I’ll probably review the book once I’ve finished it (curled up in bed with my trusty eeePC), but from what I’ve read, and that intro, Cory Doctorow is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
