The Feed
*Now a major TV series* The Feed is a unique, thought-provoking and utterly addictive post-apocalyptic thriller that fans of The Girl With All the Gifts and The Passage will love. SJ Watson says he was 'hooked from the very beginning and haunted for days' and CJ Tudor was captivated by 'a twist that will make your head explode'. The Feed was everything, until it was gone. Tom and Kate have managed to survive in an unconnected world, but the search for their abducted daughter reveals what they have lost. Without the Feed, no one knows who you are. No one knows who to trust. Without it, how can their daughter be saved? What readers are saying about The Feed: 'Absolutely terrifying. It is incredibly real and wholly recognisable' 'Gripping and exciting and all too close for comfort. Very realistic and beautifully written' 'A harrowing tale, at times moving, at times thoughtful, at times harsh. It will keep you coming back for more with characters that feel real, a vivid landscape and stellar thought-provoking story' 'This is not a book you can start reading and put back down so be prepared to lose some sleep over this one!'
Feed
Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. 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.
