Feed by M.T. Anderson, This was a audio sync book offered in the summer program. I read it now for SF, near future. This is a dystopia book that zeroes in on our increasing use of technology to communicate to the point we fail to communicate, lose empathy and are marketed by corporations so that all we do is consume. The earth is destroyed and the people are oblivious.
There is a lot of swearing and sexual content in the book, which i find hard to swallow in YA but as far as swearing. I think the author is showing that as are use of language deteriorates, all we know how to do is talk in slang and swear words. I get that, but not sure that the message is clear to the young audience that might be reading the book.
The audio aspect of this book featuring the Feed was a great part of the audio.
Not sure if this has already been tagged society but it is about society, consumerism, technology. Dystopian literature is basically about society.
