On May 25 join Cory Doctorow to celebrate the premiere of LITTLE BROTHER, his New York Times Best Selling Young Adult Fiction debut! Cory will present an all-ages reading & Q&A to benefit the First Amendment legal work of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund!

Addressing internet and government security, censorship, and civil liberties in a post-9/11 atmosphere, LITTLE BROTHER tackles timely issues while telling a smart, funny, and jam-packed-with-pop culture story.

How young is too young to change the world? Do you know exactly what it means—every time you use your credit card, every time you log onto a website, every time you swipe your metro card, every time you walk into a public space … do you know who's watching you? Cory Doctorow explores these questions and more in the novel Neil Gaiman calls "A wonderful, important book," and Brian K. Vaughan dubs "A worthy younger sibling to Orwell's 1984."

Cory Doctorow is an activist, teacher, public speaker, and technology expert. He is a co-editor of Boing Boing.net, one of the most popular blogs in the world and recipient of more than three million unique visitors per month, and a columnist for publications ranging from Information Week to The Guardian.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The CBLDF provides legal defense on behalf of artists, retailers, and librarians facing criminal and civil prosecution for First Amendment related actions. The Fund also fights unconstitutional legislation that threatens First Amendment rights. Most recently, the CBLDF won a three year legal battle in Georgia, where a retailer faced up to two years in prison for allegedly distributing a comic book containing drawings of Picasso in the nude to a minor. All charges were dismissed, but only after more than three years and $100,000 of CBLDF resources were spent to prove the defendant's innocence.
