The ultimate tale of teen rebellion...
Marcus is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works - and how to work the system. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.
But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison, where they're mercilessly interrogated for days.
When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state, where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

La vivacité intellectuelle des adolescents doués, la remise en question d'un monde "moderne", qui, au prétexte de protéger la société, se méfie de tous ceux qui sortent du cercle et demande un peu de liberté ou juste d'intimité. La liberté partagée qui nous fait créer une société parallèle dans la Société quand elle devient un danger public, qu'elle se met à manger ses petits.
Il y a tout ça dans ce livre et je préfère ne pas dévoiler plus que ça l'histoire, car c'est un vrai bonheur de se laisser porter sans savoir où, accompagné par les mots, l'humanité et l'intelligence de Doctorow. C'est un livre politique, c'est un teenage-book (version crise existentielle), c'est un livre révolté, c'est un livre social, un livre sur les hakers, sur les combats sociaux, les associations, un livre sur la famille, et un peu sur l'amour.
Un livre sur ce qui nous fait Humains, et sur ce qui fait que notre société ne l'est pas.
Je le recommande sans réserve. En 2009, et pour de très nombreuses années, c'est un livre tout simplement nécessaire.

LITTLE BROTHER presents a pretty scary picture of the way things could be if terrorist threats continue, and politicians keep funding the Department of Homeland Security with no thought as to how this might victimize the average innocent American. There is already an incredible amount of technology devoted to "spying" on the citizens of our country, and we normally don't give it a second thought. This book will make you think - and not just a little bit.
Marcus is a seventeen-year-old tech wizard. Granted, he often uses his skills for less than ethical reasons, but he doesn't hurt anyone. When a terrorist attack destroys the Bay Bridge near his home in San Francisco, he and several friends are captured by police (DHS) as they are attempting to help a fallen companion. They become the victims of frightening interrogation and torture.
When Marcus finally gains his freedom, he vows to take back America from the out-of-control Department of Homeland Security. Using his vast techie skills, he creates an alternate Internet called Xnet, which utilizes the old XBox game system. Marcus becomes known as M1k3y and develops a huge group of supporters. Together, they attempt to undermine the government agencies determined to destroy the true meaning and protection of the United States Constitution.
Cory Doctorow has created a modern-day 1984. Set in the not-too-distant future, this book attempts to show what could happen if we sit back and allow the government to whittle away at our rights to "protect" us from terrorism. It gives a whole new meaning to the idea of terrorism and fear within our own government.
LITTLE BROTHER is full of adventure and intrigue. A lot of the suspense comes from all the technical tricks Marcus brings to the story. Some of the details might prove too much for a struggling reader, but any tech/geek teens will not be able to read it fast enough.
