Feed

By: M. T. Anderson

Narrated by: David Aaron Baker, John Beach, Tara Sands, Anne Twomey

"This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the more sinister possibilities of corporate- and media-dominated culture." —Publishers Weekly(starred review)

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. 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 that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.©2002 M.T.

Awesome Novel!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It took a few to catch onto the wording but what an awesome concept. It jerks you around by your heart in a few places. what a great ride. I will have to "go" again.

Best novel I’ve read in many years

Laugh out loud funny, heartbreaking, tearjerking, incisive, insightful, horrifying, and a massive wake up call about a present moment in time. Read
this book. Now.

Two Thumbs Up

This story was well read and narrated. I also enjoyed listening to the Feed embedded in the story. I am looking forward to seeing this story on film in theater in the future.

Great performance, prescient story

I ordered this book after hearing a synopsis in The Great Courses Utopia/ Dystopias. This is a YA but I really enjoyed it as a not Y A, because it really anticipated where social media is going. It’s a very fun, fast-moving story and the performance (especially the commercials and broadcasts) really enhanced this already clever story. I recommend this heartily!

Sometimes art can be difficult to experience

At first, I was ready to return this audio book. I found it difficult to stomach the dialogue, but I stuck with it and saw the choices the author made were stylistic and contributed to larger picture.
