Little brother : theme, message and more

@Munter: Spoiler Warning
-------------------------------------
Little brother is the kind of book that starts with one man who feel like he's lost everything, but then bounces back and finally gets revenge against those who oppose him.

The theme is governmental surveilance. Or thats what the writer wanted us to think, but for me its more of a question "what is most important to you, freedom and privacy or more security?" We might have to ask our self that question one day in the near future and that book is probably made to prepare us for that moment. What I am trying to say is that this book might turn into reality. We might be watched by the gornment and everyone will be a potential terrorist. The book is definatly relevant to us today.

This book is very political, and the author is trying to tell a lot, one of those messages is one person is enough to defeat a great organisation such as DHS (Department of homeland security). Another one is always fight for your freedom.

The only downhill in the book si all the dry technical and security explanation. But never mind that its a great book.

  1. Yeah, I also think the book can be relevant towards today's society. With all the technology you never know how far the security will get in the future, and it freaks me out a bit. I don't want everybody to know my business..

  2. The author seems to be giving the reader a warning.
