True Names in Polish

Cory Doctorow at 7:25 am Sat, Sep 10, 2011

Kindle

"True Names," the Hugo-nominated novella that Benjamin Rosenbaum and I published in 2008, has been republished in a CC-licensed Polish edition, courtesy of Ireneusz Dybczyński.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I love this story. I half-believe it has already happened. We’d never know.

Sweet. If I thought my mother-in-law would read it, I’d get it for her.

Stole a bit from Vinge did you? I heartily approve.
