ConFusion adds Cryptic Guest of Honor: Cory Doctorow!
I am pleased to report that Cory Doctorow has accepted an invitation to be Cryptic ConFusion's Cryptic Guest of Honor! I'm sure many people remember what a fabulous guest Cory was at Penguicon a few years ago. This year the AASFA board has introduced a tradition of letting the Chair define a special GoH category each year, and I chose to seek a guest who compliments our Cryptic ConFusion theme. Cory's latest work, Little Brother, is filled with crypto, games (ARGs and LARPs and more!), and puzzles. Plus Cory has long worked to defend the rights of the online community to defend their own privacy with tools such as cryptography.
