<p>Praise for DOWN AND OUT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM:</p> <p>‘Impressively imagined’ New York Times</p> <p>‘Cory Doctorow doesn’t just write about the future – I think he lives there.’ Kelly Link</p> <p>‘A kinetic, immersive yarn … wholly entertaining’ The Onion AV Club</p> <p>‘He sparkles! He fizzes! He does backflips and breaks the furniture! Science Fiction needs Cory Doctorow.’ Bruce Sterling</p> <p>Praise for Cory Doctorow:</p> <p>‘Fresh and full of thought-provoking ideas, a book about tomorrow that demands to be read now.’ The Times</p> <p>‘I’d recommend ‘Little Brother’ over pretty much any book I’ve read this year. Because I think it’ll change lives. It’s a wonderful, important book’ Neil Gaiman</p> <p>‘A glorious book unlike any book you’ve ever read’ Gene Wolfe</p> <p>‘A cracking read’ Guardian</p> <p>‘Doctorow brilliantly shows us a near-future that’s equally wondrous, inspiring and terrifying’ BBC Focus</p>

The prophetic debut novel from the visionary author fo LITTLE BROTHER, now published for the first time in the UK. Jules is a young man barely a century old. He’s lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies … and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World. Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century. Now overseen by a network of ‘ad hocs’ who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches. But the ad hocs are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of Presidents and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself. Worse: it appears that this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It’s only his fourth death and revival after all.) Now it’s war.
