For The Win is a good book. It is certainly an inspiring story filled with many interweaving storylines. There are two main messages in the book. The first is the power of the internet, and the second is Big Sister's dying words "You all lead yourselves. Remember that!" The story is about civil rights and workers wanting to get what they deserve, a chance at a good life. With a few minds organizing the movement and a few Asian nations worth of workers being brought together through the power of the internet, average people are able to enter into negotiations with major companies around the world. We are made to know that this sort of feat is not impossible, and that if we choose to, we could lead ourselves through something like this. This novel is very aptly named, as it is about a group of people literally going for the win in a very difficult situation. With a lot of hard work and sacrifice, however, they seem to emerge victorious.
