Little Brother & Homeland by Cory Doctorow

A tech-savvy teenage activist is swept up in a post-attack crackdown and uses hacking, cryptography, and grassroots organizing to challenge invasive surveillance and abusive state power; the follow-up continues his story as he builds privacy tools, exposes collusion between government and corporations, and confronts the personal and legal costs of resisting pervasive monitoring. The two books explore civil liberties, digital rights, and how ordinary people can fight back when security measures threaten freedom.
