changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow．It is
a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers．

days, but his injured friend disappears．
When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures"
in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential
