Whoo. I'm on chapter six so far - I really dig Cory Doctorow's work.<p>How much of the stuff in this book is real, and how much of it is made up?<p>The trolls seem like a great idea (and I think there's an inside joke there, too). The RFID tracking of your stuff is an even better idea... especially useful for checking out stuff I might lend to other people. (I always forget I've lent things, and they disappear, and I go into this unhappy phase where I stop sharing.)
