Cory Doctorow

First I would like to say that I have really like Cory Doctorow's work that we have read so far, and I would like to read more once I have time. One thing I really like about his writing is that he references many of the products that we have now in his work. I feel like I connect better with the characters when I know that they use Google just as much as I do or they have the same brand of game systems. While some of his technology is more advance than ours, I like to think that we are very close to achieving some of it. I also feel that I like his stories better because he is a young adult author and I guess it is easier to connect to the character and some of the things that they go through. These are just some of my thoughts on Cory Doctorow; also who has been your favorite author so far?
