Feed

In a future where brain implants connect citizens directly to a constant stream of consumer data and instant messaging, Titus and his teenage friends live for mindless trends and corporate-sponsored recreation. During a spring break trip to the moon, Titus meets Violet, a girl who received her implant later in life and remains skeptical of the commercial noise. When a hacker attacks their systems, the characters face the physical and mental consequences of their reliance on the Feed. As Violet’s hardware begins to fail, the narrative exposes a decaying environment where people are literally falling apart while advertisements continue to dictate their desires and language.

Readers of cynical science fiction find this a stark warning about data privacy and the erosion of independent thought. It appeals to those interested in the social effects of algorithmic personalization and the loss of authentic human connection in a digitized society. The book leaves the reader with a grim perspective on how unregulated corporate influence and environmental neglect can fundamentally alter human biology and communication. You will finish the story recognizing the link between passive consumption and the disappearance of critical discourse.

Deep and thought-provoking; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Deep Diver. Which reader are you?
