Little Brother

by Cory Doctorow 2008
A teen hacker in a surveillance-state near-future fights back after a terrorist attack leads to widespread government monitoring and civil-rights crackdowns.
why buy?
I read 1984 when I was 19 years old and I thought what an awesome book, I wonder if there are others like it. So, I found this book, which is about a teenage hacker who lives in a heavily surveilled San Francisco. We see the protagonist running around the city and the author describing the different neighbourhoods and places, so naturally having so much fun while reading it, I thought I have to go to San Francisco and see all these things in person! Also, this copy is first edition, US hardcover, what a bargain.
