Another suggestion for the old reading list:

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Note: you will undoubtedly not like this book if you agree with any of the following statements:

"Edward Snowden is a traitor."
"The government is not the enemy, because the government is us."
"America is the freest country on earth."
"Some politicians aren't crooked."
"Federal airport security makes us safer."
"I am Mackay Sagebrush."

Otherwise, it's a great two-evening piece of fiction about where the War On Terror may be headed.


"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
