Book: Cory Doctorow. Little Brother.


Description

Pat Kane:

"Doctorow's America is essentially the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld regime, after the Next Big Attack. Their panoptical paranoia provides him with many opportunities to show the ingenuity of the digital hipster who says "yes we can" to any subversive opportunity computers, software and networks can bring. For Doctorow, "little brother" means Sousveillance versus surveillance – the eternal vigilance of the Netizen in defense of the principles of their Republic."
