MODERATORS
They're FOSS competence porn and wish fulfillment fantasy. I'm 100% on board with his politics and ideas, but the stories are a bit weak.
They're fun though.
That may be the best most detailed description I've ever seen in three words. Sounds like it could be interesting
Exactly the kind of porn youngsters leading to become adults should read, IMO.
While they're written for a YA audience, (doesn't include me) I read and enjoyed both Little Brother, Homeland, and Makers. Cory's head is almost always in the right place for me (including at readings.)
Which book or books did you read? I've read Walkaway, and I'm half way through The Lost Cause, and while I wouldn't say that they're not competence porn, I actually think the story and character work is pretty good in these, imo.
