    Really enjoyed book. I've read articles by Cory Doctorow before but this is my !st novel. I do have a few question though. Is Little Brother science fiction. Or can it be label techno thriller. The technology was very present day and accessible not futuristic like so many other works of SF. Please recommend other novels by Doctorow

    I dropped $20 on the audiobook too and am switching between that and the ebook. It's sparked some great conversation in my (politically) blended family and am really enjoying the techno-babble, revolutionary themes, and the potential for subversion as a librarian serving Teens. It's definitely going into my library's collection.

    Bar none, this is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read lately. Doctorow manages to teach, preach and tell a great story all at the same time. He's smart enough to write real characters and project them into a near-future where liberty is deemed a privilege not a right. Readers who love Tally Youngblood from Scott Westerfeld's "Uglies" series will find a new hero in Marcus Yallow - punk, revolutionary, outcast, savior.

    Though Cory Doctorow is releasing this under a Creative Commons license as well as through commercial venues, ebooks just aren't my thing. So I put my $20 down and grabbed the audiobook.

    I'm about 2.5 hours into an 11 hour listening experience, and this book ROCKS. Can't wait to finish it.
