I cannot say enough good things about this book. I think it did what 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson did for adult geeks, for the YA crowd. It was scary to read because it was so realistic - you could see that happening any day now. I've noticed lately that dystopian books have been on the rise for the YA crowd and I think it's an important topic to raise in the minds of the younger generation. I also highly recommend 'Gone' by Michael Grant, if you enjoyed 'Little Brother.'
