Marcus is Mikey, a smart kid who hacks to beat the system. San Francisco is under the control of the Department of Homeland Security after the Bay Bridge is blown up by terrorists, and Marcus is arrested because he's in the vicinity. Using his xbox, he develops a "professional learning network" of kids/adults who want to beat the system and believe in freedom, not homeland security. It's a bash on what our government did after Sept. 11, but it's well written. I was bored during the techie parts and skipped past a few. But I think this book has kinda become a classic about "the man" and what can happen when government gets too much power.
