Summary:

Now available for the very first time with two additional tales!

Have you ever considered what it’s prefer to become bitten by a zombie or live through a bioweapon attack? In Cory Doctorow’s collection of novellas, he wields hisformidable knowledge in technology and computing to provide us mind-bendingsci-fi stories that explore the options of information technology-and itsvarious uses-run amok.

“Anda’s Game” is a spin in the bizarre fresh phenomenon of “cybersweatshops,” where folks are paid very low wages to try out online gamesall time to be able to generate in-game wealth, which may be converted into actualmoney. Another tale tells of the heroic exploits of “sysadmins”-systemsadministrators-as they defend the cyberworld, and therefore the world at large,from worms and bioweapons. And yes, there’s a tale about zombies too. Plus, for the very first time, this collection contains “Petard” and “The Man Who Sold the Moon.”
