I am still on little brother, and so far, Marcus is still working to take down the DHS, the people who got so paranoid with homeland security after the terrorist attack, where they added new laws that really get into the privacy of the citizens of San Francisco and actually break some laws in the constitution. The DHS doesn't think so, but many citizens do.
Marcus has gotten a little more famous now on the internet. Many people seek his advice, he plans what to do in ways of protesting against this or hacking into their system, he's almost like one of the main leaders of this geek revolution. It makes you really root for him too, since he is a very interesting character who's very intelligent when it comes too computers, and he also has some very strong political views, too.
But I also wanted to talk about how this book can be kind of like a warning about the future. When 9/11 happened, it was probably the worst and most devastating terrorist attack in United States history. People later got more paranoid, everyone got A LOT more aware and really tried to prevent this from happening. But imagine such a terrorist attack just as horrible and devastating happened on U.S. soil again, like in this book. Think how even more paranoid people will be, how more aware, and how much more scared. Laws like the ones in this book might actually be passed. Maybe we will have cops checking where we've been, or having the homeland security put us in the back of a truck if we seem too suspicious. You never know how the world will get, and this book makes you think about it.
