"Little Brother" sounds an optimistic warning. It extrapolates from current events to remind us of the ever-growing threats to liberty.

It’s a process of collective discovery. It’s debate, it’s experimentation and it’s verification of claims that might be false. It’s the greatest foundation for a society.
