Audio Book - Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

Hey Guys,
I'm rather new here, but I think I have a good feel for the general community. I recently found an awesome audio book called Little Brother after listening to a plug by Chris Pirillo. If any of you know of Chris, or watch his podcasts, then you may very well have already seen this. For Little Brother, Chris streamed the first 30 minutes as a preview straight from his webcast. Here is the youtube video (the book preview starts 5 mins in)

Little Brother takes place in the San Fran Bay Area, and follows a very tech savvy teen named Marcus, or W1n5t0n. What makes Little Brother so interesting to me is it's real world tie ins. Almost all of the technology and security mentioned in this story is real (TOR, crypto, botnets, RFIDs to name a few). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in technology, and the age range here seems perfect for this. I honestly wish I was still in high school when I first heard this just for the thrill of it.

If you like the preview, you can get a full copy of Little Brother here:

it is a DRM free audio book though.....*hint hint*
