The history of the city of San Francisco,  California, and its development as a center of trade, were shaped by its location at the entrance to a large natural harbor. San Francisco is the name of both the city and the county; the two share the same boundaries. It was during the 1860s to the 1880s when San Francisco began to transform into a major city, starting with massive expansion in all directions, creating new neighborhoods such as the Western Addition, the Eureka Vally, the Mission District, culminating in the construction of Golden Gate Park in 1887. The City's famous Cable Cars were built around this time. this city is considered "Paris of the West" to Europeans and others of the "old World" (Europe, Asia, Africa, India.)

Marcus is a high school senior at Cesar Chavez High in San Francisco.  Marcus got called to Benson's office over the PA. This is not uncommon for Marcus. Marcus leaves Ms. Galvez's social studies class, grabbing his computer (though doesn't shut it completely because he's got downloads going), and heads to admin. Benson wants Marcus to confess that he's w1n5t0n. Benson threatens to call the police, and Marcus says that sounds like a good idea. Marcus chats with Darryl about skipping school to go get the next clue in Harajuku Fun Madness.

the story is set in San Francisco California. this makes sense cause the people of San Francisco are considered liberal and free minded. they often start or lead social, liberal, and government rebellions as well as riots and protests. this doesn't make them bad people they just have a different idea of how thing work. they are often at odds with the government.

a big theme in chapter one is that Marcus is both good and bad. he isn't bad in the sense of being a bad person but he does do some things that aren't considered good. but he isn't a criminal either (until later on).

My name is Marcus Yallow, but back when this story starts, I was going by w1n5t0n. Pronounced "Winston." pg.-9
I prefer to inject a little randomness into my attacks on gaitrecognition: I put a handful of gravel into each shoe. Cheap and effective, and no two steps are the same. Plus you get a great reflexology foot massage in the process. pg.-12

Marcus: Marcus's just a geeky seventeen-year-old high schooler. Because of the fact that he channels all his energy into geeking out, he doesn't have a lot of time to spend on things like going to school, he'd much rather cut class, hang out with his buddies. And when he's not using tech, he likes eating pizza, drinking coffee
Daryll: Darryl might be Marcus' best friend, but he gets very few pages in this book.  Darryl resists doing things like skipping school, but lets Marcus talk him into it. He also has a longstanding crush on Van. He's in Marcus's inner posse-of-four; Jolu describes him as the "second-in-command, the guy who had it all organized.
Van:  Van makes most of the great ideas that inspire Marcus. But then things get sticky with her and the rest of the group. Van walks away from Marcus because she can't watch him suffer. Her parents fled from North Korea, so they know about harsh governments.
Jolu: Jolu's a programmer and technical whiz kid. Jolu's really good at coding; he makes it so that normal internet traffic completely changes its ratio of encrypted data. He's also clear-headed and realistic.
Fred Benson: A vice principal at Cesar Chavez High School with an axe to grind, Mr. Benson's mostly important because he fights with Marcus. We get Mr. Benson's personal stats right up front, showing us that Marcus knows more about Benson than Benson knows about Marcus.
Ms. Galvez: She teaches about people making a difference and fighting for causes they believe in. Ms. Galvez is pro independent thinking, which means she clashes with the schools restrictive surveillance regime.
Charles: Charles's the bully and snitch at Cesar Chavez High School. And because of this, he's the antagonist.  he's important to the plot of Little Brother because he almost catches Marcus skipping school at the beginning then tries to capture Marcus after the VampMob.
