Nominate articles for the next Best Technology Writing

By Cory Doctorow at 11:50 pm Tuesday, Dec 8

Julian Dibbell sez, "I am following in the footsteps of Clive Thompson and Stevens Levy and Johnson as guest editor of the next volume of 'The Best of Technology Writing,' the annual collection published by Yale University Press. So it is now officially my job to be desperately on the prowl for the most excellent pieces of tech journalism published in 2009, and by published, I mean whatever the hell it is we mean by published just now. Online essays? Blog posts? World of Warcraft forum rants? I'll take 'em. I should tell you, I guess, that the selection is officially limited to pieces of 5000 words or less, and that I am especially eager for nominations in the traditionally underrepresented non-digital categories (green tech! bio tech! astro tech!), but who am I kidding? Right now I am just plain slutty for great tech writing of whatever type or provenance. Did you write it? I want it. Did your BFF/spouse/probation officer write it? I want it. Did I write it? Awkward, but OK, let's talk."

This is a fantastic series, BTW. Buy the whole set and keep 'em by the toilet for a series of short and thought-provoking reads.
