Thanks a bunch Cory! I can't wait for Lawful Interception which I'm sure will be just as awe-inspiring as it's predecessors. Keep up the superb work!

So when my uber tech savvy tween daughter was looking for her next book to read, I was able to suggest it. She loved it so much and will be thrilled that "Homeland" is the sequel. Thanks Cory! Keep em' coming!

I've made it about half way through and the events are so plausible and realistic that I've had to remind myself several times that it is a work of fiction... or is it? Thank you, Cory Doctorow.

Are there any plans of making one - to help teachers all over the globe to work with this fantastic book? Thanks for the book BTW.

One question: will there be a sequel?

My father (who is a pretty savvy fellow) turned me on to Makers at just the right time, and that of course led me down the rabbit hole into your other books.

The open copyright let me taste-test them for free, and recommend them around. I was totally floored by Little Brother - had one of those No! Sleep! Till Brooklyn! epic reading sessions, and then couldn't stop recommending it. I still haven't.

And Homeland (I'm halfway through right now) seems to be even better, if that's possible. Not only is it a great, electrifying/terrifying read, it's also marvelously informative and prescient. Oh, and full of helpful little gems! I keep highlighting and bookmarking all of these little sections full of super-useful information about security, cold-brewed coffee, open Android distros, etc.

Long story short, I'm at the "Boo-yah!" break right now, and finally tearing myself away long enough to grab a fairly-securely-connected laptop and buy some copies for the local libraries and my co-working space (Mojo Coworking, in Asheville, NC - it's awesome.)

I love what you're doing, Cory. Thanks and gratitude beyond words. I hope your tours bring you through Asheville some time soon, and if there's any way I can help with that, do let me know.

-Noah

Less than three hours cover to cover; mostly because I couldn't do anything else until I found out what happened! Loved the stuff from Burning Man, as it is not something I'm likely to ever get to in real life. It did seem though, even though this was set in SF, that a lot of the police/HS/authority responses had the 'air' of the type seen in the UK and/or Europe; 'non-lethal' but overtly brutal.

I have at least three people lined up to read it after me (they were so excited when I told them it had arrived today).

Thank you for telling it like it is.
