Persian translation of Little Brother

Cory Doctorow is one of my favorite authors, and Little Brother is one of the main reasons why.

The novel is a fantastic depiction of what can happen when teenagers decide to fight back against an oppressive system.

Seriously, pick it up if you haven’t yet and hand it off to a teenager after you’ve read it.

But this post isn’t a review. It’s about the newest fan translation.

It’s finally made it into Persian and is available for free online!

A group of people (who are pretty vague on identities) got together to hire a translator with the intent to get this story into the hands of Iranian online activists.

The book encourages people to stand up and fight for the right to free speech and privacy and non-oppressive systems. It’s set in the U.S. but easily applicable anywhere people feel like it could fit.

So check out their site, spread the word, and donate money to cover translation costs.

I love this book , and if anyone reading it, no matter what country they live in, sees a way they can use to speak out against systems designed to oppress people – I think the entire system will consistently run better.
