Book Description: New York, New York, U.S.A.: Tor Books, New York, New York, U.S.A., 2004. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Book Description: A powerful and funny novel about time, tribalism, and a young man's dismaying discoveries about his own life rt is a member of the Eastern Standard Tribe, a secret society bound together by a sleep schedule. Around the world, those who wake and sleep on East Coast time find common cause with one another, co-operating, conspiring to help each other out, coordinated by a loose network of encrypted instant messag-ing, secret protocols, and a love of Manhattan-style bagels. Or perhaps not. Art is, after all, in the nut-house. He was put there by a cabal of his friends and loved ones, fellow travelers from EST hidden in the bowels of Greenwich Mean Time, masquerading as management consultants who strive to wire Europe in oatmeal-thick bureaucracy. Scathing, bitter and funny, Eastern Standard Tribe examines the immutable truths of time, of sunrise and sunset, and of societies rebuilt in the storm of instant, ubiquitous communication. From the Inside Flap "I know many science fiction writers engaged in the cyber-world, but Cory Doctorow is a native.We should all hope and trust that our culture has the guts and moxie to follow this guy. He's got a lot to tell us. "-Bruce Sterling A powerful and funny novel about time, tribalism, and a young man's dismaying discoveries about his own life "Cory Doctorow is the most interesting new SF writer I've come across in years. He starts out at the point where older SF writers' speculations end. "--Rudy Rucker, author of Spaceland "Cory Doctorow doesn't just write about the future--I think he lives there. "-Kelly Link "Cory Doctorow rocks! Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is about a world that is visible in its outlines today, if you know where to look, from reputation systems to peer-to-peer ad-hocracies. Doctorow knows where to look. "--Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community and Smart Mobs "Nicely understated: meringue laced with caffeine. "-Publishers Weekly on Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom "It's cool, it's hip, and it's fun-but more important, it's about something. Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a sleek, tightly written book that, as the best science fiction should, engages with the world. "-Locus. Bookseller Inventory # ABE-852782494
