Cory Doctorow and Charlie Stross (I still haven't managed to read Singularity Sky yet, ack) have finished "Appeals Court," the sequel to "Jury Service" appearing in a fix-up novel (aka "mosaic novel," a "book made up of interrelated short stories," for anyone else who didn't know; Stross just calls it a chapbook) to be published with an issue of the revived Argosy Magazine. At least, I presume so, from the press release announcing the revival of that fiction magazine saying it will come with a bound novella.
Interestingly, Doctorow presents it with a short excerpt contrasted against Slacktivist's on-going "dissection" of Left Behind, the series of Christian novels about the Rapture--"apocalyptic premillennial dispensationalism," writes Slacktivist--that passes for speculative fiction at Wal*Mart.
