Cory Doctorow's most recent writings

Kes: Two info bites from Cory's mailing list; I encourage folks to read the column about how Cory got phished, as I came very close to falling for a similar attempt myself.

1. Info re Cory's new YA book _For the Win_:

Monday morning (volcano permitting!), I fly to the US for a tour to
promote my latest book, the YA novel For the Win. I'll be making stops
in Chicago, Seattle, Portland OR, San Francisco/Palo Alto, Austin,
Raleigh/Chapel Hill, New York and Toronto. Tor books has just put the
schedule online -- I hope to see you!

And yes, the book will be available as a free download, just as soon as
I touch down in Chicago and get the site online. I'm also going to pop
in at Forbidden Planet London this weekend and sign their stock before I go.

2. My latest Locus column, "Persistence Pays Parasites," describes the
process by which I fell prey to a phishing attack on Twitter, and how I
learned (the hard way) that my threat-model for this kind of attack was
flawed:
