  If you're like I was, this will change your views. Corey Doctorow has created yet another wonderful book. I have read every book that daily lit has by him but none have touched me quite as personally as this one. The political commentary that is rampant in this book is not the regular forced down stuff that Ive heard all my life, but so much more personal. I may not be a tech geek or know how the internet works and I just take it for granted, but this book taught me so much. Politics didn't matter to me because in my mind I did not see how it affects me personally. In this glimpse of what could easily be, the reader is startled into awareness. This book is compelling and wondrous at the same time, full of things for old and young readers to appreciate. I highly recommend it. I posted this on 18 September 2008

Little Brother - If you're like I was, this will change your views.
