David: Well then you are in luck, because our next book is all about the nitty gritty of hackers.

Alex: Oh? Do tell.

David: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is a young adult novel about Hacker Kids that decide to do high-tech civil disobedience against the department of homeland security after they're detained on suspicion of terrorism for playing an ARG in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I don't want to get into much more detail than that but Doctorow's characters go into tons of detail about the cryptography and tech behind what they're doing and it's all shockingly not boring.

David: The best part is that, like all of his books, Doctorow released Little Brother using a creative commons license and it's available for free on his site.
