When Trent McCauley's obsession for making movies by reassembling footage from popular films causes his home's internet to be cut off, it nearly destroys his family. Shamed, Trent runs away to London. A new bill threatens to criminalize even harmless internet creativity. Things look bad, but the powers-that-be haven't entirely reckoned with the power of a gripping movie to change people's minds...
While it's basically Little Brother but this time I'm England, I couldn't help but enjoy this book. Yes it has all the same Doctorow-y tropes but I enjoy his style and characters. Makes me want to move to a hugely urban city and put on my own pirate cinemas. A light fun romp for those who enjoy the teenage techno rebellion genre.
