Official Downloads:
Above you’ll find links to downloadable editions of the text of Little Brother. These downloads are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license, which lets you share it, remix it, and share your remixes, provided that you do so on a noncommercial basis. Some people don’t understand why I do this — so check out this post if you want my topline explanation for why I do this crazy thing.
It’s kind of a tradition around here that my readers convert my ebooks to their favorite formats and send them to me here, and it’s one that I love! If you’ve converted these files to another format, send them to me and I’ll host them, but before you do, make sure you read the following:
- Only one conversion per format, first come, first serve. That means that if someone’s already converted the file to a Femellhebber 3000 document, that’s the one you’re going to find here. I just don’t know enough about esoteric readers to adjudicate disputes about what the ideal format is for your favorite device.
- Make sure include a link to the reader as well. When you send me an ebook file, make sure that you include a link to the website for the reader technology as well so that I can include it below.
- No cover art. The text of this book is freely copyable, the cover, not so much. The rights to it are controlled by my publisher, so don’t include it with your file.
- No DRM. The Creative Commons license prohibits sharing the file with “DRM” (sometimes called “copy-protection”) on it, and that’s fine by me. Don’t send me the book with DRM on it. If you’re converting to a format that has a DRM option, make sure it’s switched off.

Cory,
re: Little Brother Thank You!
I just got ’round to reading my Nov 2008 Linux Journal :-0
and saw the interview with Dan Sawyer. How did I miss this? Well, stuff happens. Quickly found the link, again (groan), to craphound. Within minutes I’m reading the Preface on my iPod (bg)
Hope to be bringing the SecondLife version into my OpenSimulator region soon.

I am half way through and only put it down to write this. Argh! It is in audiobook form at my library too!
What about posting an alt-audiobook at this site as a mp3 or m4b format? What about a multi-voice audio-play version? Nude musical revue? er, nix that one.
I had a similar reaction to the book Feed by M.T. Anderson, another book about the near future that is a metaphor for current culture.
babelfish
Just read little brother, got a copy at my local library (UK) so I guess all is not lost. Freedom can only be preserved by a set of rules however those rules should be organic and their legitimacy derived from the majority not the dictat of the few. It is and should be our fundamental right to subscribe to beliefs or lifestyles of our choosing provided they do not harm others in society, that is the function of law
You continue to be one of my heroes (despite the fact you’re young enough to be my son…I’ve never been ageist)
You have inspired me to attach a Creative Commons license to my photos on PBase since I really, really like the concept and would be flattered to pieces if someone, other than a close friend or relative, actually found a use for one of them.
After reading your “Someone comes…” (in the more satisfying tactile format) you also inspired me to make sure my next cellphone purchase included wifi…sadly area-wide free wifi hasn’t happened even in the hippest parts of Vancouver. That didn’t work out all that well.
Still, 1 out 2 ain’t bad.
Regards and keep up the great work.
Thank You
I ripped through your book ignoring all other stimuli.
Loved it and I am recomending it to all my friends.
Best of luck
Alejandro
