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.

Britney has been ordered around by her parents her whole life.  They even decided for her who she has to marry. John is rich, and so amazing in the eyes of her parents. But, in the contrary. He isn't amazing. Not at all. He abuses Britney, physically and mentally. And she always listened, obeyed and did what he expected her to do. So yeah, she made a clichè move, but at the same time no one expected her to do it. She was leaving. For good.

Best Friend: Bradley was an amazing person. He was the life of the party. Bradley was like a therapist, he always knew what words needed to be spoken. He always knew what was right for other people. When he was on the football team, he was never a jerk like the rest of them. Bradley cared for many people and many people cared for him. Fiancé: Brad was my life and soul. He was the best fiancé anyone could ask for. Bradley knew me better than anyone. He knew when something was wrong, if I was hiding something, he even knew if I was lying. Bradley and I were that couple in school that everyone wanted to be. We were simply the perfect "it" couple. We loved each other so much. It's probably the best relationship I will ever have in my entire life. Mom and Dad: He was the sweetest child in the world (Dad). He would always hug and kiss us goodbye, tell us how much we mean to him and how much he loves us. He never left the house without doing those things. I wish he didn't forget that night. I just need one more hug, one more kiss, one more I love you (Mom). Bradley was our baby boy. Even though he was 19, going off to college with a football scholarship, he was still our baby boy(Dad). Older brother: Bradley was... man, Bradley was everything a person could want as a little brother. He was smart, funny, caring, silly, and very loving. He was awesome. When we were little, we created a game. It was like Cat and Mouse and Hide and Go Seek put together. Bradley was always mouse and I was cat. He would hide but when I found him, I'd chase him for hours. Ha, those were the days. Bradley knew how to make people laugh, even if they didn't want to. He just had that effect on people. If only... if only he didn't... that stupid message... I'm sorry, I can't... January 25, 2009, tragedy struck Bradley Simmons' family and friends.
