So, Patrick Nielsen-Hayden sent Lis an advance copy of LITTLE BROTHER, Cory Doctorow's forthcoming YA novel about a teenage hacker who fights for freedom after being swept up by the Department of Homeland Security.
I've been reading it all day, and I've been shaking. Because it's all too plausible. Except for the parts where the good guys win.
But, perhaps, if this book is a big success, it'll help the odds of the good guys winning.
It's really well written, and I hope it's a smash hit. And I think Doctorow has written the book that will top the banned books list for next year.
It's also fun, and a good read.
