Fun in the desert.
Here are four urgent stories from author and activist Cory Doctorow, four social, technological and economic visions of the world …
Call me a sap, but I really enjoy a story where the humans are the underdogs and a bunch of janitors win the day because of their advanced skills with cleaning technology.
