Description: This is the .PDF version of Cory Doctorow's With a Little Help collection of short story. 

With a Little Help is also an experiment in self-publishing and marketing a work under a Creative Commons license:  in print, audio and online text. All formats, and materials about the experiment, are available from <a href="http://craphound.com/walh/" rel="nofollow">http://craphound.com/walh</a>. See also Jonathan Coulton's introduction to What a Little Help:
"...With a Little Help is an experiment of sorts, an attempt to re-imagine what it means to publish, market and sell a book. It will be self-published, and like all of Cory's books it will be released under a Creative Commons license that allows for non-commercial sharing and remixing. There will be a number of price-points, ranging from free ebook and audiobook downloads, to print-on-demand paperbacks, to hardcover special editions with all sorts of extra goodies. The highest price-point comes with an opportunity to commission a brand new story based on a mutually agreeable premise (hence, "Epoch"). Throughout the process Cory will hold weekly public production meetings on Twitter in an effort to share information about the success or failure of these strategies. The plan combines a lot of different new ideas - audience participation, free culture, long tail economics - and it will test a few hypotheses about what it might mean to be an author in the future. It's a shotgun approach to innovation; as the old business models become quaint antiques from a not-so-distant past, sometimes the best way forward is simply to try a bunch of stuff and see what works. ...
