A technothriller, the third book in the Little Brother series. Masha has to reckon with the fact that the surveillance tools she created are being used to target her best friend, a BLM activist.

A good roadtrip through tech activist landscape

4 stars

The first Doctorow's book I consumed, by listening this time. Felt a bit like a road movie. Somehow not so urgent like many of his essays. I guess I also enjoy his twists and reserved poetics more when related with reality than with fiction.

But listening time was really enjoyable and the book is easy to recommend. Non the less because it is generously stuffed with technicalities of surveillance and resistance methods (even if sometimes exaggerated), which aren't often heard of and seem to be very worth noticing.
