Anda's Game

Just finished reading Anda's Game by Cory Doctorow. It's his latest short story, set in the world of online games. I really liked it. Like most of Cory's fiction it feels very "now", well actually very "at the edge of now", just in the future, which I guess is the mark of great Science Fiction. I also really appreciated Cory's Anglecising (sp?), it didn't feel strained at all, in fact it felt positively English. And surely this is the first Science Fiction story to feature Chavs?! I recommend it.
