Title: Homeland Author: Cory Doctorow

Genre ~ Fiction Type: Cyberpunk

• Opening Sentence:Attending burning man made me simultaneously one of the most photographed people on the planet and one of the least surveilled humans in the modern world.

• Favourite word / phrase / sentence:”Where to start?”

• Vocabulary and new terms (with part of speech) and definition:
Curlicue noun. decorative design
Cadence noun. rhythmical effect
Yogi noun. high spiritual being

• Reflection, Connection & Personal Response: This dystopian novel about current surveillance societies is a sequel to the book Little Brother. This book had a lot less tense conflicts and things were a lot more predictable. Even though the story and the wording of this book wasn’t that great I thought that it is a book that is very important who fights for the privacy of their own.
