 NewsSeeking techno-triumph stories of anti-authoritarian battles for UK edition of Little BrotherHave you used technology to overcome the odds when fighting back against authority? I’d love to hear about it! The UK edition of my young adult novel Little Brother is coming out next November, and HarperCollins, the UK publisher, have asked me to come up with some new material for the British book. I’m noodling with a bunch of different ideas on this score, but one of my favourites is of compiling an appendix of real-world stories of people who’ve successfully used technology to subvert authority and level the playing field between just-regular-folks and The Powers That Be. To that end, I’m interested in getting your stories — ones that you’re happy to have published — of technological triumph over blind, goofy, obdurate authority. Post them here on the post or email me with them. If I get enough great material, I’ll make it an appendix in the Brit edition! Leave a Reply

“I can talk about Little Brother in terms of its bravura political speculation or its brilliant uses of technology — each of which make this book a must-read — but, at the end of it all, I’m haunted by the universality of Marcus’s rite-of-passage and struggle, an experience any teen today is going to grasp: the moment when you choose what your life will mean and how to achieve it.
