I liked the Doctor Who episode. Rainbows End I've read about a third of the way through -- I like Vernor Vinge, but I hit a dull patch about cyberspace stuff in the book, and haven't gotten back to it yet.
Anybody read any of the others?

Vinge has a new (to me) novel out? A fine time to be broke.
Thanks for the tip Chris. You don't have to have an eBook--all the free Hugo stories are available in Adobe .pdf format too. I just joined Fictionwise and downloaded all of them.
