Pretty good, if a little frenetically written. It's a compelling view of a surveillance society gone mad. The book itself could stand a little editing, and it might not stand the test of time as it contains a tremendous number of direct references to tech and websites that may not survive. However, for right now, as an in-the-moment read, it is pretty good.

Loved it. Marcus is part Holden Caulfield, part Ender Wiggin and as w1n5t0n he leads the counter-revolution against counter-terrorism. If you've wondered about the value of taking your shoes(or your 6month old baby's shoes) off in the airport OR just what help those different colored alert states are... Give this one a try and maybe gain insight to the elusive hacker culture as well.

Extremely good book. The story itself is incredibly readable. I didn't realise until after that this was aimed at a younger audience. I recommend you read this.
