Cory Doctorow

In what has been described as 'one of the most brilliant reimaginings of the near future since cyberpunk wore out its mirror shades', Cory Doctorow's new book Makers tells a story so plausible that it's hard to tell where reality stops and science fiction begins. Set in a US in decline, his novel imagines two trashhackers who find that new technology lets them steal a march on the high-tech giants, thanks to an interactive ride through an abandoned Wal-Mart.
