They’re pretty good. He has a very clear, very technically detailed style. Good solid mystery writing. Kind of like a poor man’s William Gibson. After reading a two page segment of red team blues where Doctorow explains keypair encryption I described him to my wife as “Tom Clancy level detail for computers and the internet” not that Clancy is good, but his stuff is that detailed.

    So should I read William Gibson instead?

    Cory Doctorow is the writer I wish I was

    You know, I'm a developer on an open-source tabletop RPG that is meant to be to solarpunk what D&D is to fantasy. We're nearly done, but if you like writing stories in this kind of genre, I think it might interest you, either as a player or contributor to the game modules.
