Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow is the auther of 'Little Brother'. I just wanted to make an entry about him, he deserves one and I saw someone else write an entry about another author, so I assume it's ok.
In the preface he explained how he did not charge anything for his books, that he liked to write for free. He does not accept any donations either, he wants all his books to be available for free.
This is because he's an activist for liberalizing copyright laws.

Though I assumed he was born in USA, he was actually born in Canada, Toronto, Ontario to be more precise. His father was born in a refugee camp in Azerbaijan, and is a jewish activist.
I believe this has made an impression on Cory.

He has worked with a lot of computer projects through the years, in fact he co-founded the free software P2P. This is probably one of the reasons he knows a lot about computers, and he is often talking about software that is free and he can use to hide his identity and hide from network administrators and so on.

Cory Doctorow seems like a very inteligent and smart man, I think he reflects him self in the book, in the character Marcus, who is a very street-smart man.

Cory Doctorow got married to Alice Taylor October 26. 2008. They got a daughter the same year, she was named Poesy Emmeline Fibonacci Nautilus Taylor Doctorow(True story!).
