JS* From KLIATT's starred review of the book, July 2008: "Marcus, age 17, and his hacker friends pick the wrong day to cut school.And, it's written by Cory Doctorow, whose short fiction I have always enjoyed - not to mention his excellent blog []. After a quick download to my Kindle DX, I started in on the book. And was transported back to high school Little Brother reminds me very much of the "juvenile" science fiction novels of the 1950s and 1960s. Cory Doctorow (all around great guy and well-known blogger, speaker, and digital rights advocate) reached out to me about these issues. He has a sharp perspective on all of this. Indeed, one of the very first times I ever got an inkling that things were wrong with Audible, was because of a conversation I had with Cory. About Little Brother Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.
Cory Doctorow is about to release the third book in the series that began with Little Brother and continued with Homeland.It has been inspiring to see the young readers who became independent security researchers and pro-privacy toolsmiths after being inspired by those books.
