  • Little Brother Discussion Guide: Cory Doctorow
    Little Brother Discussion Guide: Cory Doctorow About Little Brother Sometime in the near future, tech-savvy teenager Marcus Yallow finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and becomes a terrorism suspect. Suddenly his casual objection to being monitored—via his internet use, the school-employed gate sensors, and public transit fast-passes—becomes a critical, life-altering protest. But, how do you thwart the efforts of overzealous watchers without becoming as guilty of invasion of others’ privacy as your enemy? Where is the line between public safety and personal freedom? This intelligent romp through the worlds of surveillance, code-writing, and internet communication also offers a compelling examination of the question: What will be the legacy of the young people who grow up in an age of high-tech “anti-terrorism”? In 2009, Little Brother book won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, the Prometheus Award, the 2009 Sunburst Award, and the White Pine Award. About the Author Cory Doctorow, a coeditor of the influential blog Boing Boing, writes columns for Make, InformationWeek, Locus, and the Guardian. A three-time Locus Award winner, and a Hugo and Nebula nominee, he was named one of the Web’s twenty-five influencers by Forbes magazine and a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. Doctorow’s books are Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (2003), Eastern Standard Tribe (2004), Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town (2005), Little Brother (2008), Makers (2009), For The Win (2010), The Rapture of the Nerds (2012), Pirate Cinema (2012) and Homeland (2013.) Homeland is the sequel to Little Brother.

  • Cyberculture Evolution
    Cyberculture Evolution Jon Lebkowsky & R.U. Sirius 1996 Two of the principal fathers of technocluture, electronic media activist Jon Lebkowsky and cyber-theoretician R.U. Sirius, have known each other almost from the virtual beginning. Lebkowsky, co-creator of the Austin- based subculture media system Fringeware, Inc., met the co-founder and editor of Mondo 2000 -- the now- defunct slick magazine that juxtaposed computer culture with drugs, sex, and graphic art -- back in the early days of the WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link), one of the first online communities. The two independent thinkers together created the late online Mondo 2000 conference on the WELL, which Lebkowsky adds "had its 15 minutes as the white-hot, way-kool core of cyberculture". Currently, on Thursday nights on Hotwired, Lebkowsky hosts the Electronic Frontiers Forum (EFF), a kind of an Internet think tank to which Net activists (and the online public) are invited to discuss the ramifications of politics both in and on the wired world. He's also working with EFF-Austin and EFF-Houston to organize a cyber rights conference slated for fall. Though Sirius left Mondo 2000 shortly before its collapse in 1995, he remains a ubiquitous Internet presence -- a search for his name turns up 30,000 matches at URLs all over the world. Sirius pens a regular column for Japan Esquire and is a contributing editor at a wide range of publications from Wired to the zine bOING bOING . His latest book, Cyberpunk Handbook: The Real Cyberpunk Fake Book (Random House, 1995), was co- authored with ex-Mondo colleague St.
