If you surf the same places that I surf, then this won't be news to you. But Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a sci-fi novel that you can read for free online, or buy in paperback. It made slashdot-type headlines a couple of weeks ago when it came out, but I ignored it at the time. Last night I stumbled across it again and started reading the prologue with the intention of stopping in a few minutes, getting up, and reading a real book. But Down and Out is simply a great book, and it held me transfixed for an hour and a half. Maybe I should buy the print copy so I don't have to stare at my computer for another 4-6 hours to finish it... check it out.
