Cory Doctorow’s shorter fiction spans nearly two decades, from I, Robot (2005), which reworked Asimov’s ideas through a modern lens, to The Canadian Miracle (2023). Many of these stories first appeared in magazines or online before being collected. When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth (2006) imagined system administrators keeping the internet running after a global catastrophe.
Unauthorized Bread (2019) became one of his best-known novellas, telling the story of a refugee who hacks her own toaster when corporate DRM locks her out. His children’s book Poesy the Monster Slayer (2020) shows a lighter side to his writing.
