Fun Evening

Sarah and I went to see Cory Doctorow at the DC library. He’s doing a book tour for Picks and Shovels, his latest book. And Loyalty Bookstores arranged the stop in DC (I’m not sure how long that link will last — just drop the bookname and try again if it’s broken — and please let me know to correct it).

Cory has his point of view, and he’s had time to find the way he want’s to express it (I’ve been following him for years). It was fun to hear it in person.

And his explanation of how he got into Science Fiction writing, was astounding! Very much right place at the right time.

He had great answers to questions posed but was stumped a bit when asked who he thinks is the best writer on the opposite side of his political / economic spectrum — that slowed him down for bit.
