When
Little Brother comes out in paperback, I plan to offer to supply 25-30 copies to my local high school for use in their senior US Government course. My hope would be that students would read both
1984 and
Little Brother and discuss how to preserve public safety without taking away personal liberties. Also the role of dissent and how governments respond to it.
By the way, did anyone know that
Little Brother had been turned into a play? It just finished a short run at the Griffin Theatre in Chicago. See
