The sequel to Little Brother.
“Homeland” is as dead serious as “1984,” as potentially important a
“novel of ideas,” with a much more engaging central character and an
apparently inexhaustible supply of information on everything from brewing
coffee to sneaky surveillance and how to defeat it.
Mr. Doctorow is bang up-to-date (as Orwell never was) on the uses of
rapidly changing technology, both good and bad. If you want to keep up,
there’s a four-page appendix on how to protect your privacy and use the
Net productively—so long as you’re allowed, that is.
