Summary "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow is a young adult novel written in the late 2000s. The story follows Marcus Yallow, a tech-savvy teenager in San Francisco, as he navigates a post-terrorist attack world where government surveillance and control have reached alarming levels. The narrative explores themes of privacy, civil liberties, and resistance against authoritarianism, appealing particularly to readers interested in technology and activism. At the start of the novel, we meet Marcus, who is introduced as a high school senior living in a heavily surveilled society. After a terrorist attack in San Francisco leads to widespread panic and an overreaching response from authorities, Marcus and his friends find themselves caught in a chaotic situation. Tensions quickly escalate as they attempt to escape the ensuing crackdown, illustrating Marcus's cleverness as he uses technology to evade the authorities, even as he becomes a target for them. The gripping opening sets the tone for a story centered on courage, the fight for freedom, and the moral implications of technological advancement in contemporary society.
