"Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom," Cory Doctorow

Don't. Just Don't. If you're interested in postcyberpunk as a genre, pick up "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson. It's in the same grating vein as this book, but one hundred times more powerful and intelligent.

But I will sum it up for you: in a world without problems or worries or pain, people make their own. This guy could be a fantastic writer, but using Disney World as a setting for the whole book? Good God no.

Too much Disney, too much drama, not enough plot.
