Good catch. I’d genuinely misremembered. I lump the two together, but generally far prefer Stross as a storyteller, even though Doctorow’s futurism is also first-rate, in a different dimension. I found the story in Down and Out to be Stross-quality.
That sort of good idea for a social network improvement is definitely signature Doctorow, though.
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom was by Cory Doctorow, not Stross.
