Recently I finished reading the MT Anderson novel “Feed,” which, despite its somewhat YA themes, carried some pretty significant messages in terms of humanity’s entanglement with technology. The novel follows the lives of a group of teens immersed in a society where everything and anything they can think of and remember is linked to this implant called “the feed”. The further you read into the novel, the more toxic we see this relationship between the group of teens and this technological “marvel” become. The novel does take place some distance into the future, but considering our current relationships with technology as this thing we can’t seem to get away from, no matter how much we try, we may as well consider it an implant. Overall, I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a quick, yet impactful, read.
