READ THIS. READ THIS. READ THIS. AND THEN READ *THAT*.
This is a public service announcement. A justifiably loud public service announcement.
READ LITTLE BROTHER BY CORY DOCTOROW. READ LITTLE BROTHER BY CORY DOCTOROW. READ LITTLE BROTHER BY CORY DOCTOROW.
JUST DO IT. BUY IT, BORROW IT, SNAFFLE IT, BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST READ IT. SERIOUSLY. PLEASE.
...really. Not only is it fantastically well written, tight and lean, and the best thing to hit modern SF since Snow Crash came along to rip the self-important stuffing out of all that snide, self-pitying, overplayed AltNoir of post-Gibson cyberpunk, but it's waaaay more important in the real world.
I might do a longer, less strident review post later at some point, or I might not.
For now, just please, please read the book. And THINK.
This has been a public service announcement. Thank you for reading.
EDIT: The book is also available for free download (for those traitors among you who read e-books...dammit, why can't you wait for proper smartpaper to come on the market? :P :P :P ):
