The ever busy Cory Doctorow (of Boing Boing) has written a short fiction story for Business 2.0. The article, Six Technologies That Will Change the World, discusses several of the more far out technologies that some companies are working on. An organ/tissue printer, sociable robots, supersonic jets (I guess this means economically viable ones), solid fuel batteries, electronic paper, and dust sized intelligent sensors.
Cory’s short story wraps all this up into a futuristic situation, bringing the ideas to life. It’s clever, and although it’s very short, is a neat read.
The story can be found at the bottom of the fourth page.
