In a Disney-dominated future, a transhuman teenager engages in high velocity adventures until he meets the "meat girl" of his dreams and is forced to choose between immortality and sex in one of Cory Doctorow's most daring novellas. Also included in this collection is "Creativity vs. Copyright," a transcript of Doctorow's historic address to the 2010 World Science Fiction Convention, dramatically presenting his controversial case for open-source models not only in information but art as well, and "Outspoken Interview," in which Doctorow reveals the surprising inspirations for his writing.

Review:
"Doctorow's prose is precise and perceptive. His vision of the future, although gritty, is an entertaining and thought provoking reflection of our present." --www.CityBookReview.com
"The multi-layered ironies in Doctorow's writing are rich and wonderful . . . about as sharp a scalpel as an author can create." --www.wired.com
"Doctorow shows us life from the point-of-view of the plugged-in generation and makes it feel like a totally alien world." --Montreal Gazette
"One of the genre's fresh new talents, one of the few who seamlessly mixes the future with the bizarre." --Rocky Mountain News
"Utterly contemporary and deeply peculiar--a hard combination to beat (or, these days, to find)." --William Gibson, author, Neuromancer
"Doctorow uses science fiction as a kind of cultural WD-40, loosening hinges and dissolving adhesions to peer into some of society's unlighted corners." --New York Times
"For fans of Cory Doctorow, reading The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow will be a no-brainer. Grim as it is, it's also as thought-provoking as anything he's written. . . . This is a lovely little book in every respect, from its stylish design to its phenomenal content." --www.tor.com (November 2011)
