maxentius writes "A bunch of new stuff has been posted to The Infinite Matrix , reports editor Eileen Gunn, including a new 15,000- word short story from Cory Doctorow entitled 'I, Robot.' Other new additions include material from Howard Waldrop and Patrick O'Leary."

Catchy Title...

Next week, read the first installment of Cory's brand new fantasy epic, "The Lord Of The Rings"

Next he will be sued by Asimov's estate for violation of his Intellectual Property.

GPL'd story?

[Aneurysm]

Is it an official fork of the Asimov book?

Can someone summarize what this story is about?

Are you challenging someone to karma whore for you? I'm sure 15,000 words isn't enough to stop some whores though ;-)

Robots.

You're welcome.

I conceived of a plan to write a series of stories with the same titles as famous sf shorts, which would pick apart the toalitarian [sic] assumptions underpinning some of sf's classic narratives.

What a coincidence! Just this morning, I myself embarked upon a series of drawings intended to undermine the assumptive usage of light and shadow in the French Impressionist movement.

Which is to say, What the Fuck is a Cory Doctorow?

I hope not. Of course, I'm old enough that Michael Jackson probably wouldn't be interested.

This is like the time...

That I wrote the names of famous baseball players on paper and sold it to kids telling them that it was a genuine autograph.

Okay, I didn't really do that.
Maybe I should have.

Mr Doctorow?

Someone called SCO just called. They said something about patenting your story and then threatening to sue everyone who reads Isaac Asimov, I don't know.

But Otto suffered from multiple personalities. One of whom, Emily, thought she was a Czech farmer.

This is so old!

I already saw the movie! Yeesh.

Except, that the Czech farmer she thought she was, always dreamed of being a butcher.
