Go read this book!

Danke Ana, bin schon am lesen. Fast ein bisschen Harry Potter für Computer-Geeks :)

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.

Neil Gaiman said it perfectly: “I’d recommend Little Brother […] because I think it’ll change lives. Because some kids, maybe just a few, won’t be the same after they’ve read it. Maybe they’ll change politically, maybe technologically. Maybe it’ll just be the first book they loved or that spoke to their inner geek. Maybe they’ll want to argue about it and disagree with it. Maybe they’ll want to open their computer and see what’s in there. I don’t know. It made me want to be 13 again right now and reading it for the first time, and then go out and make the world better or stranger or odder. It’s a wonderful, important book, in a way that renders its flaws pretty much meaningless.” A complete review can be read on Neil’s blog.
