I did not like the Mary Poppins language that was used it just rang as untrue and distracted from the story. Coppers! Truncheons! Da! Come on.

Lots of fun, nice dystopia-Britain, I like that. However, I had some trouble with the reading, I had to listen to the first few minutes of this 3 times in order for it all to go in. For a moment I thought it might be that the reader was British, but then I realised that I am from that little island, so that wasn't it. Basically it was just read too fast... This should have been given a more measured delivery - when I, an Englishman, am having trouble making out the slang terms and Anglicisms then it's all going a bit Dick Van Dyke... Keep these coming... When the new nazi's are overthrown, the fires are going to burn on The Strand, and Whitehall will run red... I thought this story was great..

And a funny anecdote, after I got done listening to the story, I listened to another podcast (I believe it was 'Buzz Out Loud'), and they claimed that in the near future it might be possible to 'print' your own stuff. At least there are people working on 3d printers. So, it seems not to be so unbelievable as it may have sounded. I liked this story.

We have to give him his due though, Cory may have an axe to grind but he's not just spinning out ideas for our amusement, he's a globe spanning super-active agent of the new order, devoting his life to the defense of our rights as computer owning, torrent wielding citizens of the age. His portraits of a hyperactive, anarchistic, evolved future are so totally removed from the dystopian, corporate controlled, cynical predictions of past generations of sci-fi writers... that one can imagine for a moment that the tide is turning, perhaps the human spirit isnt dooomed to destruction at the hands of pervasive technology, perhaps our use of open source clients and blog software will save us! As such, yes, more power to him! um... oh the story. There was one of those 'future technology' gag pictures at the back of wired recently... a parent [perhaps] on christmas eve [maybe], creating a shiny new basketball with some sort of nano compiler machine, downloading it off walmart.com for a hefty fee... that isnt the future is it Mr. Doctorow?! Please say it ain't so! Cory’s work always seems totter on the edge of being dogmatic propaganda for his views on the free use of technology.
