Question

Define and describe the ethics of privacy and freedom as enacted by the main characters in Little Brother. In responding to this question, you will first have to define and describe (using examples from the book) the way the novel portrays “right” and “wrong” in terms of issues related to privacy and issues related to freedom. These are big ideas so don’t feel like you have to define the ethics of privacy and freedom for all time – your task is to use examples from the book to justify your argument for how Doctorow is defining these ethics. Then, once you have identified and supported these examples, your task is to discuss what that might mean. You could do that by comparing Doctorow’s ethics to your own or to your perception of what seems right or wrong in the US today. (600-800 words)
