About this eBook

Author Doctorow, Cory, 1971-
Title Eastern Standard Tribe
Summary "Eastern Standard Tribe" by Cory Doctorow is a science fiction novel written in the early 21st century. It dives into themes of identity and the evolution of human connections in a world increasingly dependent on technology, particularly through the lens of the protagonist, Art Berry. As he navigates his chaotic life across time zones and digital tribes, the story examines the balance between intellect and happiness, along with how interpersonal relationships are shaped in contemporary society. At the start of the novel, Art is introduced in a state of disarray, sitting on the roof of a sanatorium where he feels trapped. Through reflections on his childhood and early experiences, he grapples with the question of whether it is better to be smart or happy, revealing his character's foundational struggle with this dichotomy. The narrative intertwines Art's recollections with a setting rich with vibrant characters, including Linda, his romantic interest who emerges from a near-fatal accident. Their encounters set the stage for exploring complex themes surrounding the consequences of technology, ambition, and emotional fulfillment as Art's chaotic lifestyle continually puts him at odds with both his personal life and society.
