Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow is releasing his latest book, True Names, as a free audio podcast.

The book, a novella co-authored with Benjamin Rosenbaum, involves galactic wars between vast, post-Singularity intelligences that are competing to corner the universe’s supply of computation before the heat-death of the universe.

Here’s what Doctorow has to say about the new podcast:

Ben and I will be reading the story in weekly installments, taking turns as our schedules allow.

I had a nearly illegal amount of fun working on this story with Ben, who is a gonzo comp-sci geek with a real flair for phrasing, and I hope you’ll enjoy hearing it as much as we enjoyed writing it!

You can preview the first episode below. More details at Doctorow’s site.
