Review

"Subversive, vigorously conceived, painfully situated at the juncture where funny crosses into tragic, FEED demonstrates that young-adult novels are alive and well and able to deliver a jolt."

"[A] compelling, witty, and seductive dystopia..."

First line

We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck.

Publisher's note

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon--a chance to party during spring break and play around 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 knows something about what it's like to live without the feed--and about resisting 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 brave new world--and a hilarious new lingo--sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement.
Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains.

Annotation

This satiric novel tells the story of Titus, a teenage boy living in a futuristic society where most people are controlled by a vast computer network which they connect to via electronic feeds in their heads. Titus is perfectly happy with his world, a world where his every need and want is suggested and met by his "feed." But then he meets Violet who, although she too is hooked up to a "feed," is nonetheless a free thinker who awakens him to the dangers of living in a computer-controlled society. Nominated for the 2002 National Book Award in the young people's literature category. Named one of the Best Children's Books 2002 by Publishers Weekly. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
