Little Brother (Cory Doctorow novel)
When I Write Like told me, I wrote like Cory Doctorow, I had to get one of his works: Little Brother.
Hm … no, I doubt that this was some clever marketing fad — there aren’t enough writers to make this worthwhile. Plus you can download the book.
Marcus is a teenager, going about his life, when he’s “caught up in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco.” What follows is funny, revolting, unsettling, witted, sometimes too realistic not to worry about. And it explains some of the more obscure and ever more relevant concepts of computer security. In a way even a non-geek can understand. And relate.
So if you want to read a few good arguments why it’s not safe to trust politicians and security experts with your security and safety, go get the book.
Recommendation: Buy.
