It’s Homeland Security<br />
versus one bright,<br />
tech-savvy teenager.<br />
Bet on the kid.<br />
Marcus, aka “w1n5t0n,” is<br />
only seventeen years old,<br />
but he figures he already<br />
knows how the system<br />
works—and how to work the<br />
system. Smart, fast, and wise<br />
to the ways <strong>of</strong> the networked<br />
world, he has no trouble<br />
outwitting his high school’s<br />
intrusive but clumsy<br />
surveillance systems.<br />
But his whole world changes<br />
when, having skipped school,<br />
he and his friends find<br />
themselves caught in the<br />
aftermath <strong>of</strong> a major terrorist<br />
attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus<br />
and his crew are apprehended by the Department <strong>of</strong> Homeland<br />
Security and whisked away to a secret prison, where they’re mercilessly<br />
interrogated for days.<br />
When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has<br />
become a police state, where every citizen is treated like a potential<br />
terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him<br />
only one option: to take down the DHS himself.<br />
"The right book at the right time from the right author—and, not entirely<br />
coincidentally, Cory Doctorow's best novel yet."<br />
—JOHN SCALZI, AUTHOR OF OLD MAN’S WAR<br />
"A great book…Thought-provoking, entertaining, and also a great education<br />
piece." —RAY OZZIE, CHIEF SOFTWARE ARCHITECT, MICROSOFT<br />
“A tale <strong>of</strong> struggle familiar to any teenager, about those moments when you<br />
choose what your life is going to mean.”<br />
—STEVEN GOULD, AUTHOR OF JUMPER<br />
CORY DOCTOROW is a co-editor <strong>of</strong> BoingBoing.net and the former European<br />
director <strong>of</strong> the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He writes columns for Make,<br />
InformationWeek, and Locus, and was arrested twice for civil disobedience before<br />
he turned eighteen. He has won the Locus Award for his fiction three times, been<br />
nominated for the Hugo and the Nebula, won the Campbell Award, and was<br />
named one <strong>of</strong> the Web’s twenty-five influencers by Forbes magazine and a Young<br />
Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. He hopes you’ll use technology to<br />
change the world.<br />
