About Taking back the world, one hacked game console at a time ...
Have you ever felt like the technology you love could be used against you? Or that the government is watching you .. a little too closely? Have you ever felt like you just had to skip school? Do you hate bullies? Have you ever felt the call to fight back- and that the fight was waaaay bigger than just you?
So, apparently, my story's been written by this Cory Doctorow guy. He seems like a pretty stand-up hombre and he has a blog at http://www.craphound.com (and http://www.boingboing.net which he co-edits).
His publisher also has your typical corporate site at: http://www.tor-forge.com/littlebrother

Are you really Cory Doctorow? The book Little Brother is so GREAT! The
only thing missing from the book is how to make a burning laser and how
to pick locks.
I love Little Brother! I swear, I've read the book so many times I'm
gonna have it memorized soon! I got just a tad paranoid after reading
it, but of course that's unavoidable. This is the only book I've ever
read more than twice. Usually, I read a book and I can't stand it again.
But Ive read it about 20 times now. Also, it's kinda creepy, but all my
friends say my personality matches up with Marcus's perfectly. I don't
think so, but Van, Jolu, and Darryl remind me so much of my best friends
from school, and Ange reminds me of my girlfriend. All these
Instructables are awesome!
There is a ton of mention here about Little Brother, some equally great
reads can be found in Over Clocked. Over Clocked is a collection of
stories by Cory Doctorow. Also if you take the time to read the last
few pages of the book (bibliography i believe it is titled) you will
find some amazing sites all that helped contribute to the inspiration of
Little Brother. Cheers.
I have a question that i couldn't find in the book about what marcus
looks like it may have been that i didn't read it carefully but i'm sure
i did. anyways, what i got so far is that he is 17 and he is 5'8 other
than that i don't know what he looks like physcialy << spelled
that wrong >> I just need to know a couple more things about what
marcus might of looked like, his hair color or eye color, everything
else i can find but them to things are vital to my report... If someone
could email me and just give me a idea that would be all i would need.
Thank you. M1k3y for life!
Paranoid Linux was made up for the book. People are working on
developing it, but they're doing it in their spare time, so progress is
slow. We're going to have to wait a while before Paranoid Linux is
available to the public.
M4v3r1cK, i know what you mean about getting a little bit paranoid after
reading it. I suddenly have a strong urge to subscribe to Relakks
(Pirate Party's darknet)... Anyways, it was a great book. The
instructables on here look good, too.
This was an amazing book. It made me a little paranoid after finishing
it, but hey, it tells me how to do that easily. This is easily one of my
favorite books of all time. Jam on!
Hey there. I just started reading Little Brother and I noticed that in
the Intro you mentioned Instructables. Just thought I'd drop by and say
hello! (That and I'm liking the book already.)
Hi, I just read and Little Brother
and I heard from somewhere on instructables that you are Cory Doctrow.
If that's true congratulations of a great book! It a an absolute
pleasure reading it.
