"In the true spirit of Walt Disney, Doctorow has ripped a part of our common culture, mixed it with a brilliant story, and burned into our culture a new set of memes that will be with us for a generation at least." -- Lawrence Lessig - Author, The Future of Ideas

"Doctorow has created a rich and exciting vision of the future, and then wrote a page-turner of a story in it. I couldn't put the book down." -- Bruce Schneier - Author, Secrets and Lies

Overclocked is a reminder that we can't hope to keep up and shouldn’t bother. But we do need to keep alert, to keep ourselves caffeinated, to run as fast as we can - if we hope to stay in the same place. Getting ahead? That's, alas, a thing of the past. -- Rick Kleffel, NPR

"Cory Doctorow is just far enough ahead of the game to give you that authentic chill of the future, and close enough to home for us to know that he's talking about where we live as well as where we're going to live; a connected world full of disconnected people. One of whom is about to lobotomise himself through the nostril with a pencil. Funny as hell and sharp as steel." -- Warren Ellis, Author of Transmetropolitan

"Utterly contemporary and deeply peculiar -- a hard combination to beat (or, these days, to find)." -- William Gibson, Author of Neuromancer

SOMEONE COMES TO TOWN, SOMEONE LEAVES TOWN is a glorious book, but there are hundreds of those. It is more. It is a glorious book unlike any book you've ever read. -- Gene Wolfe

Winner of the 2006 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, along with multiple nominations and awards for the original novelette componants.

"Accelerando fast forwards a not-so-average family through three generations and into a future in which humans seem far more alien than any critters from outer space. With heart, humor and extreme technophilia, Stross embarks on a voyage that unwires humanity and rewires readers to experience the Singularity. Welcome to the Rapture of the Nerds." -- Rick Kleffel

A seminal work of Realism, and one of the most influential novels ever written.

"What is remarkable in Madame Bovary is that its mediocre beings, with their earthbound ambitions and pedestrian problems, impress us, by virtue of the structure and the writing that create them, as beings who are out of the ordinary within their ordinary manner of being." - Mario Vargas Llosa, in The Perpetual Orgy

The novel focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, as she spirals out of control trying to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life.

Burn won the 2007 Nebula for Best Novella.

"The warm humanity and rural sympathies of this affectionate winsome short novel will make many recall Ray Bradbury at his best" -- From Booklist

"James patrick Kelly's fine new short novel Burn combines maturity with the adventurous spirit of youth, as though the Mark Twain of Huckleberry Finn had come back with a yen to write science fiction." -- Faren Miller, Locus
