I already liked Little Brother a lot. This is a pretty good sequel. It picks up a couple of years after the events of Little Brother. It also works as a standalone. Little Brother pretty much predicted Snowden. I hope Homeland is not going to be the same. It's a scary vision of where we may be heading ... scary-scary. Read either one. But don't blame me if you become a little paranoid. Reminder: just because you're paranoid does not mean they are not watching you. Also: it's not paranoia, if they are really watching!
