Cory Doctorow has written an excellent sci-fi short story anthology titled Overclocked: Stories of the Future Present. All of the stories are available free of charge from the
Overclocked site under the Creative Commons license.
The book includes the following stories:
I. Printcrime
II. When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth
III. Anda's Game
IV. I, Robot
V. I, Row-Boat
VI. After the Siege
Noticing that there was no way to download the entire book as one file, I decided to merge the HTML versions together into one document. Then, I cleaned up the formatting, added a table of contents and some polish, and turned it into a Mobipocket/Amazon Kindle compatible file. It should be a little easier to manage than six separate stories.
I initially had emailed Cory about getting my conversion up on the Overclocked download page, and here's what he had to say:
Quote:
Hey, Kyle! Many thanks for this -- really glad you enjoyed it!
Avalon -- who published Overclocked -- are more conservative that Tor, who do my novels, and the only way I could get them to agree to a CC release was to promise that I wouldn't distribute the whole book as one file. There's nothing that prevents YOU from doing so, natch, but I can't. Yes, this is INCREDIBLY dumb. Welcome to publishing!
Thanks for this -- hope lots of people d/l it from you!
Cory

I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I did!
