Feed by M.T.Anderson

Feed

In this multi-award winning novel, M.T Anderson envisions a future society in which people’s brains are hardwired into the television and the internet, with a continuous flow of information directly into their heads. Feed tells the story of teens, Titus (the narrator) who never questions the world around him, and Violet who has been home schooled and cares about more than shopping malls, parties and unrelenting entertainment. When they meet she is determined to fight the feed and its ability to categorise people’s thoughts and desires, while he is just having a fun vacation to the moon with his school friends. Against his friend’s objections, their relationship grows.

Anderson has built a wonderfully realistic and disturbing world heavy on science-fiction; it is a compelling and disturbing look at the future.   Feed would be a good novel to  access via audio book as the feed portions are done by a cast and it sounds real with advertisements, random chat from people, shows and internet research all being dumped straight into your brain, with Anderson’s own brand of slang.
