Sceptical aphorisms

Sometimes there is an hidden agenda behind criticism. For example, the creation scientists have a hidden agenda of fundamentalist Christianity. The climate change skeptics have a hidden agenda of libertarianism. (Al Seckel)

Welcome to The Skeptic Magazine (UK)

Cory Doctorow - Open Rights

Neil Denny and Rebecca Watson are in conversation with Cory Doctorow.

Cory Doctorow is a science fiction novelist, blogger and technology activist. He is the co-editor of the popular weblog Boing Boing, and a contributor to Wired, The Guardian, Popular Science, the New York Times, and many other newspapers, magazines and websites. A visiting senior lecturer at the Open University, he was formerly Director of European Affairs for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit civil liberties group that defends freedom in technology law, policy, standards and treaties. He is currently on the advisory council of the Open Rights Group.

His novels are published in print and simultaneously released on the Internet under Creative Commons licenses that encourage their re-use and sharing, a move that increases his sales by enlisting his readers to help promote his work.

He has won the Locus and Sunburst Awards, and been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and British Science Fiction Awards. His most recent novel was Makers, and his previous novel Little Brother, made it to the New York Times Bestsellers.

A new young-adult novel, For the Win, will be published in May 2010.
