I went through a brief love affair with Doctorow. But the sweetly clunky how-to-do-X-techie-thing-to-bring-down-Y-bad-guy-slash-system got too clunky for me. And repetitive too.
These short stories were OK though. Maybe he's gotten better, or maybe it's been long enough between my readings. Either way in all his writing, I still don't understand how encryption and private/public keys work (not asking for an explanation).
Me encantan los relatos de ciencia ficción y cómo cuentan tanto en pocas páginas. Estos 4 de Doctorow son geniales, distopías basadas en los problemas actuales de la humanidad y de Estados Unidos en particular
Los mejores relatos son el primero y el tercero, aunque el segundo y el cuarto no se quedan muy atrás, siendo todos ellos excelentes. Como reza el subtítulo son cuatro distopias muy actuales que en algunos casos podríamos estar ya viviendo.
