I want to like Cory Doctorow's books, but I find myself irritated by them. "Someone Comes to Town" has some clever bits and the writing is good, but it gets bogged down in the cleverness. Also, Doctorow's need to trot out the "open source", DYI, hacker love bogs things down even more.
I kept reading and hoping that there would be a point or something that would make the investment worthwhile. Instead, it just fizzled out with a few fires.
I think this is the last Doctorow book I read.
