Neil Gaiman gave me an unexpected Christmas present this year -- a
stellar review of my forthcoming novel Little Brother (a YA novel that
pits hacker kids in San Francisco against the DHS in a bid to restore
the Bill of Rights to America) on his blog. He has a few quibbles with
some of the plot elements, but closes with this:
> I'd recommend Little Brother over pretty much any book I've read
this year, and I'd want to get it into the hands of as many smart
13 year olds, male and female, as I can.
>
> Because I think it'll change lives. Because some kids, maybe just
a few, won't be the same after they've read it. Maybe they'll
change politically, maybe technologically. Maybe it'll just be the
first book they loved or that spoke to their inner geek. Maybe
they'll want to argue about it and disagree with it. Maybe they'll
want to open their computer and see what's in there. I don't know.
It made me want to be 13 again right now and reading it for the
first time, and then go out and make the world better or stranger
or odder. It's a wonderful, important book, in a way that renders
its flaws pretty much meaningless.
