Books Like Homeland
by Cory Doctorow
If it was the crackling, punk‑hacker energy and clear‑eyed anti‑surveillance rage of Homeland that hooked you, you’re in the right place. The books below deliver that same DIY tech‑activist pulse — fast, furious plotting, know‑your‑toolkit braininess, and characters who refuse to be surveilled or silenced.
