Book Reviews of Little Brother
Book Review: A Cautionary Tale
Summary: 5 Stars
Doctorow's book looks at a possible future in which the excesses of "enhanced interrogations" are visited upon US citizens by the Department of Homeland Security after a terror attack. The book follows a precocious 17-year-old and his friends who are caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While the book makes villains out of America's right wing as perpetrators of making a terrorist attack serve as an excuse to take over, I wonder if Doctorow might change his tune now that we have a White House Chief of Staff who's said that a crisis must not be wasted?
Despite my political misgivings, I enjoyed the book and concur with Doctorow's observations regarding how security measures almost always inconvenience the innocent and miss the guilty.
