Shelves: borrowed-from-library, scifi

kind of a cross between a sick kid book (like The Fault in Our Stars but without the great boyfriend) and the shiny bubbly parts of Uglies, without all the revolution. It is a sobering book, and like day-to-day life, not much seems to happen, yet everything happens. Also a cautionary tale against the insidiousness of technology, prescient since it was written in 2001, before the Internet of Things became a goal of tech companies. ...more

Shelves: ya, award-winners

Awesome audio! I definitely recommend listening to the audio version of this title for enhanced "content".
Out of all the future-set ya books, this had quite a different, refreshing feel.
Disturbing, quietly profound, and at time funny, Feed is a warning to be careful how close we allow technology to be integrated into our lives. ...more

Shelves: young-adult

My sister in law read this with her class as a senior in high school and for that I think her teacher was a genius. Just a word of warning for those concerned about language, there are more F words in this book than in the movie 'The King's Speech' but not more than the average high schooler's mouth. ...more

Shelves: ya, artists, science-fiction

I absolutely loved this book. It was cool, inventive, smart, sad, and unafraid to be beautiful while remaining awkward. I highly recommend the audio book. The reader is fantastic and you get to hear "the feed." ...more
