"""Righteously satisfying...A fascinating tale of financial skullduggery, long cons, and the delivery of ice-cold revenge."" - Booklist on The Bezzle ""Robert Heinlein was always known--and always came across in his writings--as The Man Who Knew How the World Worked. Doctorow delivers the same sense of putting yourself in the hands of a fellow who has peered behind Oz's curtain. When he fills you in lucidly about some arcane bit of economics or computer tech or social media scam, you feel, first, that you understand it completely and, second, that you can trust Doctorow's analysis and insights. That makes for a great reading experience."" - Locus on The Bezzle ""It's a novel of issues, presented as they should be, detail by devastating detail. The issues and ideas are this novel's warp, the specificity and sometimes surprising emotional truths its weft."" -- Maria Farrell on The Bezzle ""Cory Doctorow is one of our most important science fiction authors."" --Kim Stanley Robinson ""Cory Doctorow doesn't just write about the future--I think he lives there!"" --Kelly Link ""Another winner from an sf wizard."" --Booklist on Red Team Blues ""Absorbing and ruthless."" --Library Journal on Red Team Blues ""A cleareyed warning...With unconventional gumshoe Martin at the helm, fans can expect good things from the series to come."" --Publishers Weekly on Red Team Blues"
