My sister slept with the light on until she was 27. She rightfully blames me. I would leap out of closets with my hands made into claws. I would... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works-and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high schools intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.

But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where theyre mercilessly interrogated for days.

When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

Synopsis:

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. WHO'S WATCHING BACK?

Synopsis:

A multiple award winner is now in paperback. A novel that is at once an entertaining thriller, a thoughtful polemic, and a practical handbook of digital age self-defense.--"The New York Times," Notable Children's Book of 2008.

Synopsis:

A fiercely gripping narrative as only Elizabeth Scott can write!

Ava is welcomed home from the hospital by a doting mother, lively friends, and a crush finally beginning to show interest. There's only one problem: Ava can't remember any of them--and can't shake the eerie feeling that she's not who they say she is. As she struggles to break through her amnesiac haze, the only memories that surface take place in a very different world. Ava doesn't know what to make of these visions, or of the boy who is at the center of them all, until he reappears in her life and offers answers . . . but only in exchange for her trust.

After reading the first page of Little Brother, I couldn't put it down. The protagonist is smart and funny, and all the other characters are also fully developed yet completely different. Though I know my 15 year old nephew will understand all the techie details, for clueless dopes like me, the author explains everything in a clear and exciting way. All the tech tweeks and upgrades actually pertain to the storyline and allow the action to unfold. After reading this I want to test system, open my gadgets to see how they work, play dress up, and rock out in the streets! Mostly though, I want to learn more. Suddenly I'm curious about all the math and computer science classes offered on Coursera, which is something I consider totally bizarre.

A timely read. I was immediately caught by the technology part of the story which is currently available and in use. It's not difficult to imagine this San Francisco when you look at current world events.

This is an amazing book. It really made me think about the government and terrorists and such. I really love a book that makes you question your ethics while being readable and this one fits perfectly. It just really captures so many emotions and leaves it for you to figure out who's right.
