Cory Doctorow Synopses: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a standalone novel by Cory Doctorow. Jules, a young man of barely a century, has lived to see the end of death and scarcity, mastered ten languages, composed three symphonies – and fulfilled his dream of living in Disney World. Maintained by a collective of “ad-hocs” devoted to preserving its nostalgic charm, the park remains a monument to twentieth-century imagination. But when a new faction seizes control of the Hall of the Presidents, replacing its classic animatronics with invasive neural simulations, Jules sees it as sacrilege. Worse yet, they’ve had him killed. Revived and furious, he vows to fight back – for art, memory, and the soul of the Magic Kingdom itself.

In Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town by Cory Doctorow, Alan is a middle-aged entrepreneur in contemporary Toronto, devoted to restoring an old house in a bohemian neighborhood. His renovations bring him into contact with the chaotic household next door – a mix of students, artists, and drifters – including a young woman who, in a moment of panic, reveals that she has wings. Wings that grow back no matter how often she cuts them off.

Alan understands. He has secrets of his own. His father is a mountain; his mother, a washing machine; and among his brothers are a set of Russian nesting dolls.

Now two of the dolls – Edward and Frederick – have shown up at his door, starving because their smallest brother, George, has gone missing. Even worse, it seems that another brother, Davey – whom Alan and his siblings killed years ago – may have returned from the dead, and he’s out for revenge.

Under the circumstances, it seems perfectly reasonable for Alan to throw himself into a visionary plan to blanket Toronto in free wireless Internet, a project led by a brilliant technopunk scavenging miracles from the city’s dumpsters. But Alan’s past isn’t done with him yet – and Davey is only one of the strange and vengeful powers closing in.

In Makers by Cory Doctorow, Perry and Lester are inventors of the impossible – seashell robots that make toast, Boogie Woogie Elmo dolls that drive cars, and even entire economic systems. When Kodak and Duracell are dismantled by ruthless venture capitalists, the two visionaries help create the “New Work,” a utopian reboot of the New Deal for the digital age. Barefoot bankers roam the country, microinvesting in high-tech communes. The nation transforms, and blogger Andrea Fleeks is there to chronicle the revolution.

Then the revolution implodes. The New Work bust makes the dot-com crash look quaint. Undeterred, Perry and Lester turn to something new: a network of immersive rides built in abandoned Walmarts. As their strange amusement empire takes off, a rogue Disney executive orchestrates a brutal takedown, convincing the police that their 3D printers are cranking out AK-47s.

The fallout is chaotic – lawsuits erupt, venture capitalists begin funding litigation as the next big thing, and the partners’ friendship disintegrates after Lester undergoes the “fatkins” treatment, transforming him into a pleasure-obsessed gigolo.

And then things get really weird.
