Hello World

Hello One and All,

This is the first post of an exciting and eventful blog that will star me as your host and guide.

The Renegade Rabbit has many purposes. Mainly it will unite many parts of my life such as:

- J-Mail

- High Seas with Popeye the Sailor Man

- And my many interests
- Liberty
- Metal
- Mischief
- Technology

And for the first subject of my first post

Little Brother

This is a book that had clearly changed my life. The title is the first hint that I would like this book. I have been uncomfortable about "Big Brother" for my entire life. Reading this book was a wonderful experience because I was always taught to conform and move with society. I was told you should never question authority and never stand up. I always did question authority and stand up for myself but I saw it as a act of perversion. But enough about me.

Little Brother is about a 17 year old boy and his friends. I would call his group the new age of geeks. They are incredibly socially savy with technology. Not like the game nerds you usually see. They are masters of security and infiltration, gathering and using community to have a great time. Their main game was a ARG or Alternate Reality Game. During the playing of this game a terrorists attack occurs where they live in San Francisco. Due to the fact that the group snuck out of school they are viewed as terrorists. They are locked up for weeks and then are released. The rest of the book is about how one 17 year old throws of the shackles of an oppressive American regime

This book was written by Cory Doctorow and is open source and free to the public

Cory Doctorow's website, Craphound.com. Is also very good. Doctorow is a libertarian futurist and his work is phenomenal

Ok, that's the end of the first post.

I hope you enjoyed it

Best,

The Renegade Rabbit
