Mike Mullin, the author of the terrific Ashfall trilogy, has a great interview at Boston Tech Mom:
Mike Mullin interview "Q: What book recommendations do you have for the tech savvy teen?
A: There’s a great new book by Lawrence Tabak called In Real Life about an American teen trying to make it in the big leagues of Korean e-gaming. It reminded me of Cory Doctorow’s work, all of which would also be great for tech savvy teens."
