His stories are fun, and his ability to wind a solid science fiction tale is superb. There is the occasional story which does not get me excited, but the clear majority have me smiling from ear to ear. He knows just how to blend future and technology together into an absorbing alternate reality. In my opinion, Shadow Of The Mothaship was the story that fell short in this collection, but the other eight were fantastic. A Place So Foreign is Cory Doctorow’s first collection of short stories. The entire collection is available on his website, www.craphound.com, and Doctorow is one of the editors on BoingBoing.net. In addition to everything else he does in pursuit of fair use and intellectual property rights, Doctorow is also a pretty damn good writer. A Place So Foreign brings together several stories in a classic-contemporary sci-fi shorts kind of collection. The stories feel utterly contemporary in their blending of tech and reality, drawing as much from fantasy and fairy tales as from Bradbury and Asimov. Doctorow’s prose is clean and clear, presenting plot-driven stories generally designed to illustrate some deeper issue of socio-techno-cultural importance. Doctorow’s work is enjoyable in the same way as so many sci-fi fans once enjoyed Bradbury or Arthur C. Clarke: His stories are dire warnings wrapped in highly edible containers. Read, enjoy, be blown away. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Considered one of the most promising science fiction writers, Cory Doctorow's name is already mentioned with such SF greats as J.G. Ballard, Michael Moorcock, William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. He was awarded the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Science Fiction Writer at the 2000 Hugo Awards. Cory's singular tales push the boundaries of the genre, exploring pop culture, trash, nerd pride, and the nexus of technology and social change. His work is a roadmap to the possible futures that may arise in our lifetimes. Additional stories include "Craphound", "All Day Sucker", "Shadow of the Mothaship", "The Superman and the Bugout", "Home Again, Home Again", and "Return to the Pleasure Island".
