"Feed could be a thought-provoking read for those interested in exploring the consequences of a society heavily reliant on technology. The unique and distinctive feature of the book is the portrayal of a world where people are so reliant on their 'feed' that they lose the ability to think for themselves. The book offers a stark warning about the dangers of technology over-dependency and raises important questions about the role of personal agency in a world where technology dominates."

Description
We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck. So says Titus, whose ability to read, write, and even think for himself has been almost completely obliterated by his feed, a transmitter implanted directly into his brain. Feeds are a crucial part of life for Titus and his friends. After all, how else would they know where to party on the moon, how to get bargains at Weatherbee & Crotch, or how to accessorize the mysterious lesions everyone s been getting? But then Titus meets Violet, a girl who cares about what s happening to the world and challenges everything Titus and his friends hold dear. A girl who decides to fight the feed.Following in the footsteps of Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and Kurt Vonnegut, M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world and a smart, savage satire about the nature of consumerism and what it means to be a teenager in America."
