He's lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies...and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDisney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century. Now in the care of a network of volunteer \"ad-hocs\" who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, though, it seems the \"ad hocs\" are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It's only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now it's war: war for the soul of the Magic Kingdom, a war of ever-shifting reputations, technical wizardry, and entirely unpredictable outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBursting with cutting-edge speculation and human insight, Cory Doctorow's \u003ci\u003eDown and Out in the Magic Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e is a coming-of-age romantic comedy and a kick-butt cybernetic tour de force.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCORY DOCTOROW is a coeditor of \u003ci\u003eBoing Boing\u003c\/i\u003e, a special consultant to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an MIT Media Lab Research Associate and a visiting professor of Computer Science at the Open University.
