maribouIn a non-infuriated vein ....
Cory Doctorow is my current favorite writer of social science fiction (ie speculative fiction that focuses on sociological aspects of some future); well, next to Ursula LeGuin, but she's pretty much my favorite living writer of fiction, period, on a lot of days. What a good fun interesting thought-provoking book! I smooch him. ('Cause, you know, I can't give out anything like a John W. Campbell Award, and besides, he already has one of those.)

Songs of a Gorilla Nation is an intriguing half-memoir/half-natural-history book written by a woman with Asperger's syndrome and a Ph. D. in anthropology. It's about what you'd expect from those tidbits of information, and recounted with skill and emotional weight. It rubbed me the wrong way a couple of times, but my overall impression is very good and I'd recommend it to anyone who shares my fondness for primates or my fascination with high-functioning mental disorders.
