down and out in the magic kingdom by cory doctorow

It's the sort of wild, tech-savvy premise a reader might expect from someone with Doctorow's CV-among other things, he's one of the editors of the popular Weblog Boing Boing and a 2000 Hugo Award winner for best new writer. 'Hell, call them what they were: an army.' After Jules is 'killed'-for the fourth time in the hundred years he's been around-he realises that the Haunted Mansion is under threat, along with the rest of his beloved Magic Kingdom. While he's delighted with his job and his perky girlfriend Lil, he's increasingly suspicious of the ambitious ad-hoc that's just revamped the Hall of Presidents. And rather than acquiring wealth, people are concerned with earning Whuffie, a measure of good will and admiration among your fellow immortals.Īs one of the people in charge of the theme park's Haunted Mansion, Jules has no shortage of Whuffie. Now that you can back up the contents of your brain and download it into a fresh clone, death has become obsolete. The operations of Disney World, in this glimpse into the near future, are administered by 'ad-hocs', volunteer groups devoted to retaining the old-fashioned charms of the amusement park in a society that has otherwise undergone radical change.
