Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Those that are frustrated or unwilling to accept the status quo should read this book. Plus an added bonus is technology and that the setting is San Francisco.  The main character is an unwilling witness and possible suspect of terriorst activity.  This could be set only a few years in the future, but I felt most the technology is pretty much here now.  Cory Doctorow gets all this stuff absolutely correct.
What I found disturbing about this book is that BART recently did something that is used in this book to control crowds.  The book also brings forward new uses for those Xboxes....or other gaming devices that have access to the Internet.
Thus far, all that have read this book seem to have enjoyed it, but be aware, this book may not be for all.  It does contain content that makes it Young Adult (violence and/or sex). 
My family members who have read this book feel it will make a great movie.
