All About:
Podcast
My Podcast is a regular feed in which I read from one of my stories for a few minutes at least once a week, from whatever friend’s house, airport, hotel, conference, treaty negotiation or what-have-you that I’m currently at. Here’s the podcast feed.

Last week while I was stranded by the volcano, I did an interview with the TVOntario Search Engine podcast about the iPad and why I thought that its policy and infrastructure should make it a no-go zone for publishers, users and authors.

My next young adult novel, For the Win, is out on May 11 in the US, UK and Canada. It’s a kind of novel-length version of my story Anda’s Game, about the drive to unionize gold-farmers who toil in video-games.
I’ve just read an excerpt from the book in my podcast — a scene in which a wildcat strike breaks out in an Internet Cafe in Guangzhou.
Here’s an interview I recorded with the ResonanceFM Little Atoms show last week in London, talking about privacy, game mechanics, creativity, the genome, and many other subjects.
No story this week, just a reminder that I’ll be in Seattle this coming weekend for NorWesCon!
