Little Brother Part Deux

This Doctorow novel brings up several frightening things. One being the ability of the government to have constant surveillance upon the people. This might seem like something that is in the very far future, but it's not. It's capable of happening time now. With the Patriot Act and increases in technology the government's ability to monitor us is at an all time high. This novel should awake the public to this possibility, but it won't. The public is completely oblivious to the goings on of the government and their ability to watch and track every move. A day where we live in a USA like Marcus lived in is not far off. We need to fight back just like the characters did in this book. They fought for what's right and what is good. If we're not careful, what happened in this novel will happen to us. This type of government is very scary, but at the same time it is real. Also, it is scary to think that there are already types of government out there that are like this. Governments exist that will capture and torture their citizens without being provoked. This makes me sad for the rest of the world.
