Hackers R Us


Chapters 1-10 of Little Brother

I did a graphical novel interpretation, 5 comic slides, of the first ten chapters of Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow. I did my best to depict some of the most important scenes including: Marcus' trip to Benson's office, the terrorist attack, Darryl's dinner with Vanessa he never had (I made up), a slide with Presidents George W. Bush Jr and Barack Obama (I made up), and a DHS vs. USA slide. As Chapter 10 came to a close, Marcus and Jolu organized a bunch of their friends that they trusted to make "a network inside a network" on Xnet that the DHS could not detect. The DHS now was after Xnet users in their persistent search to find terrorists. Marcus and Van also tried to throw the DHS into gridlock because of all the trouble they have caused with their unexpected searches, questionings, and investigations to no avail. The DHS just hired new staff members and police officers in response to what they thought was an effort by the terrorists to delay being caught. Marcus told himself that he would do anything to take down the DHS, and he has made efforts to do so. However, at some points in the first 10 chapters we see his know-it-all attitude falter in fear, only to rise again with a renewed inspiration to take down a Goliath that no one will face.
