Gunn Memorial Lecture: "The Coming War on General Purpose Computing: Every single political issue will end up rehashing the stupid Internet copyright fight." When: Thursday, February 28, 2013 7:30pm - 9:30pm Where: Alderson Auditorium University of Kansas Student Union Cost: Free! Seating is limited, so arrive early to ensure a spot. Jayhawk Ink bookstore will have copies of several of Doctorow's books available to purchase in Alderson Auditorium (as well as the bookstore on Level 2) and get signed by the author after the talk. This is Doctorow's third visit to KU: first in 1999 when his story "Craphound" (his first published story) was a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and next in 2009 when his novel Little Brother won the John W.
