| In Little Brother, the authority that is abusing its power is the Department of Homeland Security. In the real world, really any form of authority can abuse their power—the government, the police, even teachers. Authority surrounds us every moment of every day, and every so often someone decides that enough is enough and they start a rebellion. In the world of Little Brother, the amount of authority was so much to the point where it was impractical, and it reached the limit where rebellious characters like Marcus enjoyed breaking the rules and rebelling against the overwhelming amount of power. When it comes to maintaining peace, a person or group in power must be very careful about how they exert their authority. If done in a way that is too forceful or harsh, they will create a situation much like the one in Little Brother and will end up right in the middle of a large group of very unhappy people. |
