Culture Travellers

Two people on the edge of coherent ideas

Free book

Am mai gasit o carte “moca” de downloadat de pe net. Este vorba de “Little Brother” a lui Cory Doctorow, de la editura Tor Books, caruia i-a  fost publicata  in Romania,  pina acum, “Someone comes to town, someone leaves town” la Editura Millenium Press .

Sa vedem despre ce e vorba…

Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems.

But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days.

When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

Suna interesant…O gasiti aici intr-o multitudine de formate…

Si pe site-ul  editurii Tor avem 4 povestiri si anume:  ”After the Coup”’ de John Scalzi, ”Down on the Farm” de Charles Stross, ”The Leviathan”  de Wesley Allsbrook si ”The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away” de Cory Doctorow… Si din cate am vazut, feedbackul este destul de bun…
