NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state. A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier. Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.

Clark always knew Johanna was always a quiet girl with a loud mind. He understood the Sweater Girl. He understood everything about her; except that she liked girls. Loved girls. Not boys, but girls. And the worst struggle was that he liked her. A book full of friendship, heartbreak, and finding and repairing love. ( btw I wrote this two years ago, prepare for cringe, stereotypes, awful grammar, and very bad knowledge on the LGBTQ+ community... I know better now lol ) ; LGBTQ+ Just Write It ; ; Highest Ranking: #225 in Short Story ;

There were only a few things in this world which Em cared about -reading, boxing, eating and writing. But love is added to the list when she starts talking to a badass, tattoo bearing college student, who also happens to be addicted to drugs. Her original plan had everything to do with talking to him and writing an article about the reasons for drug addiction and nothing to do with falling in love. But Em is a mouthy teenager, with a dirty mind and the knack for being as unpredictable as Justin Bieber's next public scandal, so of course she's going to do more than write an article, especially when she is dealing with a stereotypical bad boy..... Just a heads up, I won't be censoring any words like 'fuck' etc. Hopefully, it won't piss too many people off :) This book has a rank now, for some reason: #59 in humour!
