Reddit reviews Little Brother

Oryx and Crake is excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone. It's part of a trilogy that continues with The Year of the Flood, which covers the same time period viewed by entirely different characters (segregated lower class and a hippie-ish religious cult rather than the biotech-happy upper crust in Oryx and Crake). MaddAddam is meant to tie the two together.

Depending on what type of dystopia you're interested in, I have several recommendations:

• For mass surveillance, Little Brother
  
• For fundamentalist Christian extremism, The Handmaid's Tale, again by Margaret Atwood
  
• For the effects of rampant capitalism and constant advertising, Feed
  
• For the psychological effects of civilization's collapse on ordinary people, Into the Forest (caveat: did not like the book)

So I'm currently listening to the audiobook for Little Brother, and it gets a whole-hearted recommendation from me. It hits a lot of points we seem to frequently talk about:

• diverse characters (admittedly all in supporting roles)
  
• YA books that appeal to male readers
  
• Male MC in touch with his emotions
  
• embracing technology and social media (and depicting it accurately)
  
• realistic depictions of science
  
  Add to that a natural lesson in math and programming as well as plenty of paranoia, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I may have to flip through the book when I'm done to see if it passes the Bechdel test and its variations though.

That's so sick, it's like that book Little Brother I read as a kid, and still cool for anyone who's into this stuff.

But yeah, can anyone tell me how to do this haha. Like how to make a key and where the Soul Nexus people are.
