Thanks. I have Doctorow's Down and Out In The Magic Kingdom in paperback. It's a great book and I'm looking forward to reading this one.
I had always assumed this was a novelization of the Will Smith movie but according to Doctorow: Quote:

This one's VERY popular on Feedbooks (top downloaded science-fiction book: http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/to...cience+Fiction ).
He also wrote another short story named "I, Row-Boat" if you're looking for another CC-licensed work about robots: http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/view_book/338 |

Bump due to I Robot being replaced with Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present which includes I Robot.

I'm thinking about adding a way to download a full list on Feedbooks, this way people will be able to downloads books separately or the whole list. It'll be quite interesting, not just for series.. |

A list would be nice to have to download multiple books at once. |

JSwolf... I just finished reading this one. I enjoyed it immensely! So much so that I read Someone comes to town someone leaves town too.
I especially liked I Rowboat as a Scuba addict. A sentient reef that wants to destroy all human life on earth. Very funny. I encourage anyone who loves sci Fi to check these out. Someone comes to town is a little bizaare with all the name changes but I appreciate the struggle for identity the 'monsters' are going through. Last edited by Roy White; 01-05-2008 at 10:48 PM. |
