Interview: Cory Doctorow & Charles Stross at Google



Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross put in an appearance at Google to plug their new book, The Rapture of the Nerds.
Cory and Charlie intend to write a third novella in the sequence begun with "Jury Service" and "Appeals Court," and THE RAPTURE OF THE NERDS will consist of all three novellas, possibly with some small additional connective tissue if necessary.
