Helpful Score: 2
I don't think I have ever rated anything five stars before, but this book deserves it.
Essentially a modernized version of the classic 1984, but so much more. It really has a lot of plot elements that are different. I liked this book a lot better that 1984, in fact, because as a teenager in the Bay Area, not an adult in England, I can relate to it a lot more.
Whoever you are, this is an extremely important book to read, because the torture, wiretapping, and code-making and -breaking techniques are really in use today, making this a completely believable and possible story.
I hope that our country isn't like this in five or ten years, but I worry that it might be.
