Cory Doctorow burst onto the science fiction scene in 2004 like a rocket, inspiring awe in readers and envy in other writers with his bestselling novels and stories, which he insisted on giving away via the Creative Commons. This celebrated novella tells of the high-velocity adventures of a trans-human teenager in a Disney-dominated future, battling wireheads and wumpuses (and having fun doing it!) until he meets the 'meat girl' of his dreams and must choose between immortality and sex.

Doctorow shows us life from the point-of-view of the plugged-in generation and makes it feel like a totally alien world. --Montreal Gazette
Doctorow's prose is precise and perceptive. His vision of the future, although gritty, is an entertaining and thought provoking reflection of our present. --www.CityBookReview.com
For fans of Cory Doctorow, reading The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow will be a no-brainer. Grim as it is, it's also as thought-provoking as anything he's written. . . . This is a lovely little book in every respect, from its stylish design to its phenomenal content. --www.tor.com (November 2011)
