Feed by M. T. Anderson (4 out of 4 stars)--This book rocks, as much as a book can. In its purest sense, it is a dystopia, or a vision of a flawed and ominous future in the tradition of Brave New World and 1984. It's the story of some teens who have a media feed in their heads and are constantly barraged by advertisements, fashion tips, trends, fads, and recommendations about every aspect of their personal and academic lives. Most people in this society have the feeds, and folks are gradually forgetting how to do things like read and write, because much of that stuff is done for them. Then the main character, Titus, meets a girl who cannot have the feed, and he learns a little about what the feed does to people, especially when the damage becomes more tangible and people start getting sick. Feed is a very powerful statement on media control. Big Brother is watching you!
