Home Again, Home Again — Cory Doctorow

Home Again, Home Again -- Cory DoctorowAvailable in the collection, A Place So Foreign and Eight More.

A fun little story about coming home.

It’s different and i quite enjoyed this: you might also enjoy it.

You Can’t Own Knowledge — Cory Doctorow

You Can't Own Knowledge, written by Cory Doctorow.You can read for free at FREESOULS.

If the block caps bothers you, you can copy and paste the text into a word program, select all, set font, set size font, and it’ll come out normal for you to read.   I have no idea why someone would block cap their whole website apart from a few letters and make it so impossible to read.   I suppose it’s someone without any sense thinking they’re being really arty and avant-garde or something — well you ain’t, you’re just being a twat.
