I was recently reminded of the short story After the Siege by Cory Doctorow, which is published free under Creative Commons (like all of Cory’s work). It tells the story of a country ravaged by a war fought over royalties for things like food and medicine as seen through the eyes of a fifteen year old girl. It left me feeling the same way that I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream had, terrified and excited for the future.
Anyways, you can read it here: After the Siege by Cory Doctorow
