Feed

A 2002 National Book Award Finalist! "We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck." So states Titus, whose ability to read, write, and even think for himself has been 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 in the world and challenges everything Titus and his friends hold dear. A girl who decides to fight the feed. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., 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. Praise for Feed...
