  Scary is Right I am absolutely loving this book. It's a scary all to close to reality future. I want to think of this as a modern re-envisioning of George Orwell's classic 1984, but Cory Doctorow is an amazing author in his own right and makes the story and characters come alive in such a way that it really isn't fair to limit it in such a way.
  
  One of the things I like most about this book is the way that so much modern technology is explained. Things like cryptology, that I only have a passing interest and knowledge in are explained in detail in lay terms and are extremely interesting to read.
  
  Not only is the story engaging, but I feel as though I'm learning about a ton of timeless technologies. I posted this on 04 February 2009

Little Brother - Scary is Right

I am absolutely loving this book. It's a scary all to close to reality future. I want to think of this as a modern re-envisioning of George Orwell's classic 1984, but Cory Doctorow is an amazing author in his own right and makes the story and characters come alive in such a way that it really isn't fair to limit it in such a way.
