Today’s book review comes from Sam Hancock, a graduate trainee working at HarperCollins currently helping out the Voyager list. Interested in writing a review of a Voyager book for our blog? Contact thevoyager@harpercollins.co.uk for more details (and quite possibly a free book!!)
Published in 2008, Little Brother cemented the already-strong reputation Cory had built on the back of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, as a blisteringly original and powerful voice in the cyber punk scene and beyond.
Following cocky 17 year old Marcus and his friends, a troop of largely carefree technophiles, we see a San Francisco thrown into confusion when the iconic Bay Bridge is attacked by terrorists. With this one event everything changes. The Department for Homeland Security (DHS) picks Marcus and his friends up near to the explosion, pumping them for information and treating them inhumanely at a secure facility they brand, ‘Guantanamo-by-the-Bay.’
