Book Recommendation
If light of all the SOPA and PIPA and ACTA talk going around lately, I'm reminded of a book I really enjoyed.
Cory Doctorow's Little Brother.
If you haven't read it and enjoy spy thriller type novels with a more than a touch of anti-big-government messages and technophile sensibilities, I think you might like it, too. And as with all things Doctorow, it's available for free via a Creative Commons license here.
I recently read Ready Player One, by Ernest Kline, and that one was a winner, too. In that book, Cory Doctorow and Wil Wheaton are elected President and Vice-President of the Internet because of their long-standing fight for privacy rights online. This is a work of fiction, but the point is well made. Maybe one day...
