“Marcus is a wonderfully developed character: hyperaware of his surroundings, trying to
redress past wrongs, and rebelling against authority… Raising pertinent questions and
fostering discussion, this techno-thriller is an outstanding first purchase.”

“Little Brother
is generally awesome in the more vernacular sense: It’s pretty freaking cool…
a fluid, instantly ingratiating fiction writer…he’s also terrific at finding the human aura
shimmering around technology.”
Los Angeles Times
“A wonderful, important book…I’d recommend
Little Brother
over pretty much any book
I’ve read this year, and I’d want to get it into the hands of as many smart thirteen-year-olds,
male and female, as I can.”
Neil GaimaN, author of

“A worthy younger sibling to Orwell’s
Nineteen Eighty-Four,
Cory Doctorow’s
Little Brother
is lively, precocious, and most importantly, a little scary.”
BriaN K. vauGhaN, author of
Y: The Last Man
“Scarily realistic… Action-packed with tales of courage, technology, and demonstrations
of digital disobedience as the technophile’s civil protest.”
aNdrew “BuNNie” huaNG, author of
Hacking the Xbox
“The right book at the right time from the right author--and, not entirely coincidentally,
Cory Doctorow’s best novel yet.”
JohN scalzi, author of
Old Man’s War

“Little Brother
is a brilliant novel with a bold argument: hackers and gamers might just be
our country’s best hope for the future.”
