Feed Paperback Book

Description: Feed Paperback Book Product Description Product Description A Time Magazine 100 Best YA Books of All Time SelectionThe tour de force that set the gold standard for dystopian YA fiction — in a compelling paperback edition. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break. 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 has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M. T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now. 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. —New York Times "Another book that can be added to the list entitled 'YA Novels I'd Never Heard of But Which Turn Out to Be Modern Classics' and Feed may well turn out to be the best of the lot . . . Funny, serious, sad, superbly realized." —Nick Hornby, The Believer M.T. Anderson has created the perfect device for an ingenious satire of corporate America and our present-day value those in a funhouse mirror, the reflections the novel shows us may be ugly and distorted, but they are undeniably ourselves. —The Horn Book (starred review) The crystalline realization of this wildly dystopic future carries in it obvious and enormous implications for today's readers — satire at its finest. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the more sinister possibilities of corporate-and media-dominated culture. —Publishers Weekly (starred review) What really puts the teeth in the Anderson's brillinat satiric vision in the semaless creation of this imagined but believable world. The writing is relentlessly funny, clever in its observations and characters.... —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) A gripping, intriguing, and unique cautionary novel. —School Library Journal Many teens will feel a haunting familiarity about this future universe. —Booklist Both hilarious and disturbing. —Booklist Editors' Choice In spite of its foreboding overtones, FEED is in a sense an optimistic novel. By involving its readers in the act it suggests is central to society's survival, the book offers hope. —Riverbank Review Although set in the future, Anderson's novel is a stunning indictment of contemporary America and its ever-increasing obsession with consumerism even in the face of impending environmental collapse . . . the novel is both intense and grim. It should, however, appeal strongly to mature and thoughtful readers who care about the future of their world. —VOYA Disturbing yet wickedly funny, with as brilliant a use of decayed language as Russell Hoban's post-apocalyptic RIDDLEY WALKER. —Horn Book Fanfare, The This dystopic vision is dark but quite believable. Sad and strong and scary. —Chicago Tribune The book is fast, shrewd, slang-filled and surprisingly engaging. —New York Times Book Review Notable Books of the Year This wickedly funny and thought-provoking novel is written in a slang so hip it is spoken only by the characters in this book. Teens will want to read it at least twice. —Miami Herald A darkly comic satire that can be read as a promise or a warning. —Detroit Free Press The flashes of humor as well as the cleverly imagined grim future world should quickly draw readers into this look at teenage love and loss, and at consumerism carried to its logical extreme. —Kliatt Book Review The scariest part of FEED's brilliantly conceived futuristic dystopia is that much of it isn't futu Features Candlewick Press MA Shipping Shipping for this item is free in the 48 continental United States.
