Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" by Cory Doctorow is a science fiction novel published in 2003. Set in a 22nd-century post-scarcity world, the story unfolds at Walt Disney World, where rival groups compete for control of attractions and visitors' esteem through a reputation-based currency called Whuffie. When narrator Julius is murdered and suspects foul play, he battles to preserve traditional park experiences against technological change, risking everything he values—including his relationships and his very identity.
