Stop reading my blog and go read...
Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow. I mean it. Read it now. Have your friends read it now. And your kids, especially your kids. It's marketed as YA but it is not a children's book. It is an important book that shines a real light on the liberties we are giving up and have given up since 2001, but it's also well-written and has kick-ass characters.
I'm not a great book reviewer and a quick google will bring up countless reviews. If you can't afford it, no worries, the free download is HERE.
What are you waiting for? Move along now, don't you have some reading to do?
Edited to include this quote from an essay by Andrew "bunnie" Huang,
"We win freedom by having the courage and the conviction to live every day freely and to act as a free society, no matter how great the threats are on the horizon."





































Will do! Sounds like an interesting book.

Or you can get it from your local library! (Which is my plan, it's in my queue now.) Thanks for the recommendation.
