Come hear Cory Doctorow discuss his brand-new novel, Homeland, this Thursday at the Booksmith in San Francisco! Homeland chronicles the adventures of Marcus Yallow, a tech-savvy youth drawn into a web of government secrecy.
Homeland by Cory Doctorow
Meet the Author at Booksmith
1644 Haight St, San Francisco, CA 94117 (google map)

Homeland is the sequel to Doctorow's award-winning young adult novel Little Brother, which tackled themes of technology, activism, and the government's increasing hostility to civil liberties.
The first five people to make a reservation will receive a paperback copy of Little Brother at the Booksmith! (Submitting a reservation will help us have a sense of how many friends of EFF are attending, but it is not required.)
Cory sez: "I'll be reading from the book, talking about the themes and my inspiration for writing it, and about how Aaron Swartz contributed to it. I'm hoping that the public appearances turn into a chance to brainstorm about how to keep Aaron's work going. The events are all-ages and kid-friendly, and I'll be happy to sign your books, ereaders, floppy discs, laptops, or whatever."
Hope to see you there!
Richard Esguerra
Development Director
P.S. Little Brother inspired me to take up the cause of digital civil liberties, so the characters are near and dear to my heart. Cory is a wonderful speaker and I'm really looking forward to this occasion to meet EFF supporters.
