Little Brother<\/a>. Cory Doctorow<\/a>. 2008 ISBN 9780765319852.\u00a0 This author is new to me. He is a coeditor of Boing Boing<\/a><\/span> and a Hugo Award nominee<\/a> winner <\/span>.\u00a0 Plus he really knows his stuff.\u00a0 If you like your science fiction to be about events just around the corner then this is the book for you and your misunderstood teenagers. I can not imagine any young person under 21 who can not relate to the behaviors, attitudes and events in this book.\u00a0 Riping plotline (DHS turns San Francisco into a police state), believeable (and recognizable) characters (only the young can get eveyone’s freedoms back) , with decent development make this my recommended science fiction gift book of the season, but,\u00a0 you will want to read it too.\u00a0 All the stuff in here could happen. As a bonus,\u00a0 there is a decent learning sets on crypto and security systems embedded in the highly readible text, with some moral business lessons as well.\u00a0 Cleanly written work, a great East – West plane ride book. Microsofties may take some offense – this is an open source<\/a> advocates zone for certain. Love the names. e.g. Paranoid:Linux, with version names like\u00a0 ParanoidXBox!<\/p>\n
