The Leaky Faucet ...

Whoa! I'm actually using this blog as a place to post some neat links! I love reading about the writers I admire. I've recently read two Robert J. Sawyer books that I've thoroughly enjoyed, not in the least due to the creative ideas he has of the future. The Canadian content is neat too, and I kept remembering excerpts about
Toronto as I wandered around there last weekend.

As lawyer James Boyle points out, "the best social theorists of the information age are still science fiction writers and, in particular, cyberpunks." I love to borrow the term social theorist to describe what I'd love to be doing with my life. Sawyer has a whole section of his website devoted to "futurism" Check it out.

Another social theorist/futurist is the talented Cory Doctorow, who writes for BoingBoing.net and has now published two novels and a collection of short stories, all of which are available in their entirety online under a creative commons licence. I hope to see more content of this nature online in the near future.
