These characters are neither post-modern nor post-anything much else; they are not bored, disengaged, ignorant, amoral. They are young people caught up in a global struggle for justice in a manner impossible even two decades ago, thanks to the new transnational space they inhabit.
It’s an arena whose unintended effect is to offer its players a crash course in the game-like nature of the political and economic battles waged around them – as well as providing a context within which friendships can grow irrespective of race, nationality, wealth, age, gender or creed. Doctorow’s American teenager teaches himself Mandarin in his spare time, the better to play alongside his guild buddies, even while his parents bemoan the uselessness of his gaming habit.

Hey, Austinites! I’m headed your way tomorrow (Thurs) for the next leg of my book-tour. I’ll be reading at BookPeople at 7PM, and then heading to EFF-Austin’s WhuffieFest, a fundraiser/party at Amelia’s RetroVogue and Relics, 2213 South 1st Street in the 78704. I haven’t been to Austin since SXSW 2003, and I can’t wait to get back!
Tonight’s my last night in San Francisco, and it’s the capstone of the Bay Area leg: the Electronic Frontier Foundation fundraiser/party at the 111 Minna Gallery at 7:30. I’m really looking forward to this — a great way to end a fantastic stop in one of the cities of my heart.
After Austin, it’s off to Cary, NC (Saturday) and Chapel Hill, NC (Sunday), then New York and Brooklyn, and finally Toronto, my hometown. Here’s the full tour schedule.
A reminder to fans of the free download: there’s an amazing list of libraries, schools, youth shelters, halfway houses and other worthy institutions that are looking for donations of copies of the book. If you liked the ebook and want to thank me, the best way to do that is to donate a copy to one of them.

Expect Doctorow’s usual skill with plotting, prose and pace to ensure that you’ll finish this book with the same fever any much-desired title will instill. There are a lot of great Big Ideas rattling around in here, told in a manner that even adults can grok. ‘For the Win’ is already a winner.
