All of the stories in that collection can be downloaded free here:

Doctorow is a badass.
That's funny because when Buck said he read Ender's Game I was going to mention another Doctorow story called, "Anda's Game"
It was first published on salon.com, I think, but ended up making one of the Best American Short Story editions a few years ago.
It's a good short story.
