Well, I'll elaborate tomorrow (we're still on, right? *grin*), but in short, I think Cory's a decent copyfighter, and maybe even a good writer...but not both at the same time.

But he can't keep that divided. I'm reminded of his take on Asimov, as part of his series "to reveal the totalitarian underpinnings of classic SF," he took "I, Robot" and went nowhere good, mostly about how UNATS Robotics was stunting creativity by not allowing free copying of personalities and robots and and and...

You get the idea.

*shrug* I've read a fair amount of his stuff--Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Eastern Standard Tribe, Someone Comes to Town, and a few of his short stories (most recently "When the Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away")...and I just don't like it.

(I certainly won't be touching Little Brother with a ten-foot pole.)
