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.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. ShareAlike

Time Will Tell [Complete] by Adios39

In 1842, a 17-year-old runaway flees to Ireland to escape her power-hungry brother and is thrust into a catastrophic series of events that may end in life... or death. Back in the 1600's, two brothers created an intricate system to send coded messages through clocks . . . some big, some small, all equally as important. Nicknamed 'Donovan' and 'MNT', these brothers were as close as could be . . . until one little mistake on Donovan's side rips them apart and turns MNT bitter. Now, almost two centuries later, Lizzy Mason is running for her life in London, never staying in one place too long for fear of discovery. Her brother wants something she has and will stop at nothing to get it. Lizzy feels trapped - there is betrayal and danger at every corner, and she doesn't know how to get out. She runs to Ireland, dragging some of the few people she trusts with her, but Lizzy ends up putting herself and her friends even closer to danger. All she wants is a place to rest, but she doesn't know where to find it - and she will risk everything she has to get there. She thinks she already lost everything. Little does Lizzy know that she has much more to lose, and she might just give it all away. What will she risk to discover what she's been trying to find ever since her parents were killed all those years ago in Germany? And is she willing to die just to win?

Homeland by CoryDoctorow

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.

Chameleon (Shawn Mendes X SPY!AU) by lonelyreputation

Rune--Correction, Agent Rune Darnell--Only knew what it was like to sit behind a computer, running codes, for the C.I.A. But when her phone rings, she's suddenly on a flight from Washington D.C. to Toronto, Canada as a mole. Her (very first) field mission: go undercover with the alias Leah Bedford and get as close as she can--do whatever it takes--to get information out of her subject. AU where Shawn is thought to be heir to one of the biggest mafias in Toronto since his father's passing, keeping friends close but enemies closer is one hell of an understatement, and where Rune--Leah--whoever she is, has some difficult decisions to make.
