I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  How has this not been big before?
  
  Because political graffiti in San Francisco has been in the iron grip of the dadaists since the 1970s.

Well, this is an organic extension of the pop-culture aspect of it all. I hope OWS doesn’t go down the tubes of novelty. In fact, I think a nice seguee would be to http://OccupyGovernment.org. Seriously.
