Amazon has put up its sell-page for my forthcoming short story collection, A Place So Foreign and Eight More, which will be published by Four Walls Eight Windows in September 2003. This book is coming along famously, with an intro by Bruce Sterling and blurbs by a variety of people, including Neil "Sandman" Gaiman. If you pre-order now, you get a 20 percent discount.
From the introduction by Bruce Sterling:
Many writers, especially gray, creaky, well-fed ones, have ambivalent feelings about copyrighted ink versus slithering electronica. Me, for instance: I wrote two novels on typewriters, so I still remember the Pleistocene. But Cory possesses an advanced mode of cyber-analysis. Paper versus pixels, that's yesterday's battle, an intriguing archaism for him. It provokes that nose-flaring delight that he takes in old industrial equipment and Howdy Doody dolls.
Cory Doctorow straps on his miner's helmet and takes you deep into into the caverns and underground rivers of Pop Culture, here filtered through SF-coloured glasses. Enjoy.
– Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and Sandman
