Craphound, wasn’t Cory Doctorow’s first short story, but it was the first one I’d ever read of his. Published in Science Fiction Age, a slick full sized magazine in which Doctorow had a regular column, it featured many of the elements you’ll find in his other stories and novels. A kind of curious combination of warm and fuzzy nostalgia with a clear eyed thinking. Craphound is also what Doctorow named both his website and podcast.

“Aliens have once again decided to visit Earth in this lighthearted romp. Rather than having conquest on their minds, they merely wish to visit, and explore. Jerry is a junk dealer, a collector, a pack rat of crap and antiques and memorabilia, depending on your point of view.” First published in Science Fiction Age, March 1998.
