As you may know, my previous blog was about the first ten chapters of Little Brother. This blog will be discussing the following chapters till the end of this novel. I will also talk about the sequel to this novel, Homeland.

Now in the these last chapters, Marcus, the protagonist, allows many of the people who use his Xnet technology to be caught by the DHS because of their private, personal use. He himself becomes a terrorist and causes trouble with his program.

He ends up having to tell his parents and his friend’s parents about the whole chaos that has occurred with the DHS, especially since Darryl is still in prison. Slowly their story of torture from the DHS expands to other people, such as a DHS undercover operative. This woman, Masha, wants to help Marcus and believes that what the DHS is doing is uncalled for.

This novel continues to discuss the voyage the Marcus must take ot expose the DHS for what it has done. After the exciting ending of this novel, Cory Doctorow writes a sequel to the novel, with the first few chapters revealed.

This next novel starts in the setting of the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, where Marcus and Ange enjoy themselves in the festivities. However, shortley after they are enjoying themselves, Marcus runs into Masha. She seems to expect him and she has something to give him. Masha leads Marcus out of the temple and into a secretive place for them to talk and exchange. Masha does not tell Marcus what she is giving him, for his own safety. He is given instructions to meet her after the burning of the “Library of Alexandria.”

However, as Marcus continues his experience at the Burning Man festival, he soon realizes that whatever he was given by Masha will greatly change his future. I hope that Cory Doctorow will soon release the rest of this novel, which I believe will be next year in 2013.

So far, I have greatly enjoyed Doctorow’s novel Little Brother, and I hope all his readers have enjoyed his novel as well. He has provided captivating adventures and twists that many people can learn from and enjoy.
