CORY DOCTOROW
Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m.

Three-time Locus Award-winner and Hugo and Nebula Award nominee Cory Doctorow makes this special Elliott Bay appearance with a young adult novel, Little Brother (Tor), which we suspect will be well received by readers of all ages. As this novel begins, a seventeen-year-old and his friends are arrested and interrogated in a secret prison after a terrorist attack in San Francisco. Their troubles really begin after their release, as the city has become a police state, everyone now under surveillance. "A worthy younger sibling to Orwell's 1984, Cory Doctorow's Little Brother is lively, precocious, and most important, a little scary." – Brian K. Vaughan. The author of many books, including Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Overclocked, Cory Doctorow is also co-editor of Boing Boing and former director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
