  Little Brother is a reminder that no matter how unpredictable the future may be, we don't win freedom through security systems, cryptography, interrogations and spot searches. We win freedom by having the courage and the conviction to live every day freely and to act as a free society, no matter how great the threats are on the horizon.

    Such an amazing book. I know a lot of tech guys who can't finish it because it makes them so furious.

  Technology is no cure for this paranoia; in fact, it may enhance the paranoia: it turns us into prisoners of our own device. Coercing millions of people to strip off their outer garments and walk barefoot through metal detectors every day is no solution either. It only serves to remind the population every day that they have a reason to be afraid, while in practice providing only a flimsy barrier to a determined adversary.

  Seems like we have a little race here, but I guess you'll win that one ;)

  Computers can control you or they can lighten your work — if you want to be in charge of your machines, you have to learn to write code.
