This book is guarenteed to keep your inner-geek happy.

I have just finished reading Corey Doctorow’s “Eastern Standard Tribe”, and found it to be hilariously funny (in the LOL¹ kind of way). Corey is an excellent writer, and this particular book develops into an interesting tail of comedic techno-drama.

It’s light and fluffy, and I personally knocked it over in two sittings, I could have easilly done it in one, at no point in the story was I lost, or even contemplated putting it down. It takes a fair lot to pull me away from a computer screen for long enough to read a novel, and even more to then go and blog about it, but Corey’s futuristic in a current-day kind of way world with twists of hillarity from occasional “fartmobiles” and a mention of a “metric shitload of porn” had me totally absorbed.

What is even better is that Corey is a fellow WordPress user, whose personal blog can be found at http://www.craphound.com. He also blogs at Boing Boing.
