I bought this book based solely on a recommendation made to me by a work acquaintance, and I’m so glad it worked out. Don’t you feel awkward when someone recs you a book but you end up hating it? What do you do then? Pretend you like it, or be honest?
Anyway, I normally wouldn’t have picked this up on my own, mostly because I tried reading The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing and hated it. I’m happy I did pick this up, though, because it was seriously good.
I don’t feel up to writing a decent summary at the moment, so here’s what’s on the back of the book:
“We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck.” So says Titus, a teenager whose ability to read, write, and even think for himself has been almost completely obliterated by his “feed,” a transmitter implanted directly into his brain. Feeds are a critical part of life for Titus and his friends. After all, how else would they know where to party on the moon, how to get bargains at Weatherbee & Crotch, or how to accessorize the mysterious lesions everyone’s been getting? But then Titus meets Violet, a girl who cares about what’s happening to the world and challenges everything Titus and his friends hold dear. A girl who decides to fight the feed.
