POSTPONED UNTIL AUGUST // On May 25 join Cory Doctorow to celebrate the premiere of LITTLE BROTHER, his New York Times Best Selling Young Adult Fiction debut! Cory will present an all-ages reading & Q&A to benefit the First Amendment legal work of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund! Addressing internet ... (daha)and government security, censorship, and civil liberties in a post-9/11 atmosphere, LITTLE BROTHER tackles timely issues while telling a smart, funny, and jam-packed-with-pop culture story. How young is too young to change the world? Do you know exactly what it means—every time you use your credit card, every time you log onto a website, every time you swipe your metro card, every time you walk into a public space … do you know who's watching you? Cory Doctorow explores these questions and more in the novel Neil Gaiman calls "A wonderful, important book," and Brian K. Vaughan dubs "A worthy younger sibling to Orwell's 1984." Cory Doctorow is an activist, teacher, public speaker, and technology expert. He is a co-editor of Boing Boing.net, one of the most popular blogs in the world and recipient of more than three million unique visitors per month, and a columnist for publications ranging from Information Week to The Guardian. This CBLDF Benefit event happens on May 25 at Comix in New York City. General admission tickets to the reading are $20 and available at [http://comixny.com/event.aspx?eid=416&sid=1302]. VIP admission is $100, and includes preferred seating, a signed copy of Little Brother, and access to exclusive after party with open beer/wine/soda bar until 8 PM.
