Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Summary: After the Bay Bridge is blown up by terrorists, high school student and computer hacker Marcus is taken by Department of Homeland Security, questioned, and eventually released into a world he no longer recognizes.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Comments: I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story about freedom, terrorism, security, and loyalty. It is science fiction meets computer information and technology, as Marcus uses his immense computer knowledge to bring down the DHS. It is fast paced and exciting, and most of the computer jargon is explained well (although some of it still is over my head). I would have given it a higher rating, except for a little too much sexual content for my liking. This would make a great book club discussion book.
