What do you think the world will be like in the future? Well, "Little Brother" is Cory Doctorow's interpretation of what the future of the United States of America will be in a few years.Marcus Yallow lives in San Francisco, United States and is a 17-year-old computer genius and hacker . . His whole life changes when he skips school and finds himself in the middle of a terrorist attack. The government's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) captures Marcus and his friends, thinking they are the terrorists responsible for the attack. He is imprisoned and mercilessly interrogated by the DHS, before he is finally released. The problem is that he is forced to never reveal what he endured in prison. When he returns home, he discovers that his city has changed. The DHS had infiltrated the city and was monitoring and tracking EVERYONE! The people of the city were interrogated and treated like terrorists. The scary part is that most people were so afraid of terrorists that they supported DHS abolishing the Bill of Rights. Marcus's friend Darryl was never released from prison, unlike his other friends. To get his friend and his country back, Marcus creates a rebellion group called X-net, which is a network that uses Xbox. Soon Marcus M1k3y (M-1-K-3-Y)'s online name and the buzz his group created became famous. But when the rebellions he leads put his followers in danger, he decides to go public with his story. He manages to reveal the true colors of DHS to the world, but is recaptured and imprisoned….And that's when the CLIMAX begins….………………..………………..……………… …. .I think this is the climax of the book because it is the most intense part of the book. It's not an action climax, but s... half the paper... you have to take it yourself." This book opens your eyes to the powers the government has over the rest of the country and the importance of protecting our freedom. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books that deal with real life situations. Little Brother has a good message and relates to something that is likely to happen in your life. It gives a good understanding of today's politics without having to read the newspaper confusing politics and hacker technology that you need to understand, and it's a long way from being an action-packed book. If you like action-packed, suspenseful, fast-paced books, then this is definitely not the book for you you. But if you like politics, technology or hacking, I recommend asking Mr. Machida if you can borrow this book today. Works Cited "Little Brother" Cory Docotrow
