Recently at Reason.tv: Cory Doctorow on The War on Kids, Boing Boing, & His Next Novel
As one of the editors of Boing Boing, Cory Doctorow runs one of the best-known blogs on the planet. As the author of best-selling young-adult novels such as Little Brother and the new For The Win, he has his pulse on what it is like to be growing up in the 21st century. As a writer who simultaneously publishes his work online for free and via a traditional bookseller (Tor), he is at the bleeding edge of creating what he calls 21st century art: "contemporary art that is made to be copied."
In July Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie talked with Doctorow about raising free-range children, the future of copyright, and what makes Boing Boing tick.
Approximately 5.26 minutes. Shot by Gillespie and edited by Josh Swain.

You know X-tenz really works!
And he's a good writer.
Hit and re-run
Cory Doctorow's new novel is painfully bad.
