story about replicators

Hi folks, my sister pointed this out... thought some others here might enjoy it.

If you're into sci-fi, or rep-raps, or just like having a story read to you, you'll like this:

Some of the social implications should sound familiar to this crowd too.

Very cool, but I think it's a dupe, if it is the Bruce Sterling story set in Eastern Euroslavia.

I should re-read it, actually.

For a good RepRap book, try Walter Jon Williams's "Aristoi". I shant spoil any details here. I will say that they need to be more careful with their technology in that book.

It is a sort of a duplicate. A pointer to Bruce Sterling's "The Kiosk" was posted two years ago (by SebastienBailard):

This version is an AUDIO podcast with a reading by Peter Cavell. It starts at 10:30 into the podcast.

While looking for the text of this story I found a mention of a similar story by Cory Doctorow titled "Printcrime". You can read that one on his blog here:

Just be careful what you read, eh?
