As I shy, nerdy and insular adolescent, I absorbed science fiction: Heinlein, Bradbury, Anderson, etc.. But Tom Swift was always my favorite. It is surely unfair to compare such pulp fiction with Cory Doctorow's infinitely more thoughtful work, but the emotional anticipation is the same. Little Brother spoke to me and I am anticipating For the Win will do the same.
So I am taking a sick day (I had minor dental surgery yesterday), have
downloaded a mobipocket edition to install to an old Tungsten (my current ereader) and will take the day to immerse myself in some good science fiction, as a no-longer adolescent 58 year old.
