Salon.com's serializing Cory Doctorow's new novel!

This is very cool. Cory Doctorow is, I feel, one of the best talents in science fiction, nay, all of fiction, today. And he's a really cool guy to boot- releasing almost all his stories online under Creative Commons licenses which allow free non-commercial redistribution. He's finished a third of his new novel, tentatively titled Themepunks, and Salon.com will be publishing a new section of the book every Monday for the next ten weeks. The 1st part is online here. Have a taster:

"Why the hell have you done this, Landon?" Kettlewell asked himself into his tie-mic. Ties and suits for the new Kodacell execs in the room, like surfers playing dress-up. "Why buy two dinosaurs and stick 'em together? Will they mate and give birth to a new generation of less-endangered dinosaurs?"
