T.: Books Review: Gripping and Thought-Provoking - Feed is an amazing dystopian novel that kept me hooked from start to finish. The story explores mind control, rebellion, and the impact of technology in a way that’s both exciting and thought-provoking. The characters are relatable, and the world-building is compelling. Perfect for young adults or anyone who enjoys dystopian fiction with depth and action. Highly recommend! Review: Connected to Everything - Imagine a world where you don't have to leave your house. The internet, IMs, chats, stores and all connections to the outside world are directly installed... in your head. But, if you DO choose to leave your home, you have the ability to ride (not drive) in your "up-car" to the Moon, Jupiter, Mars, etc. Everything you'd ever want is directly at your fingertips. There is even a way to experience virtual reality and even watch your favorite personal memories with your friends. You can share your dreams and the thoughts and images that you see in your head (including your personal feelings while you were seeing these images) with other people- projected in their minds like a movie. Everything is connected. Everyone is connected. But, there's a problem. Due to this "connection" being constant, people lose pieces of their personalities. Commercials and advertisements are constantly being broadcasted into your MIND so that you'll get the sudden urge to buy, buy, buy everything that's in "style", even though styles only last about 15 minutes. Girls excuse themselves to go to the bathroom and change the part in their hair, people "zone out" during conversations because they're "chatting" with their friends IN THEIR HEADS! Human bodies aren't meant to function this way, so they begin to fall apart. Not everything is "meg rad". The scary part is, while this story is a bit over the top and far-fetched, I can't say that it will NEVER happen. I see the deterioration of Earth and America as a whole. (Tear down the forest to put up Air factories) I see the ever persistant need to be "connected". I am old enough to remember a time when cell phones didn't even exist- now, I can't possibly get through the day without checking my email and text messages. Even this review is online. How else would I be able to share this with you? The difficult part of the book- the vocabulary is really aggravating at first. It took me a few chapters to warm to the characters because they "like" said "like" everything in "meg" overtoned simpleton language. It was frustrating, at first, but I was over it by the middle of the book. The storyline carries it enough to overlook the aggravation. Even the narrator's dad says "Dude". haha. Great story. I read all the time and this story has been the best idea for the past few months, at least. Even though I am much older than its intended audience (I think around 14?) it is still really enjoyable. I may read more MT Anderson. "Feed" is my first. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,160 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Computers & Internet Humor #124 in Teen & Young Adult Dystopian #224 in Fiction Satire | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,678) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.83 x 8.31 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 9 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 0763662623 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0763662622 | | Item Weight | 9.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 299 pages | | Publication date | July 17, 2012 | | Publisher | Candlewick | | Reading age | 14 - 17 years | ## Images ![Feed: (A Dystopian Novel About Mind Control, Rebellion, and Technology - Perfect for Young Adults) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D3NgrGF0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gripping and Thought-Provoking *by G***E on December 30, 2025* Feed is an amazing dystopian novel that kept me hooked from start to finish.

Lauderdale or Cancun), the main characters could just as easily be seen walking through today's malls. In fact, malls play a large role in the story. They are a symbol of our consumerism and homogeneity. The teen protagonists talk and chat in a manner not that different from today's teens. The main difference is that their communication is facilitated (or directed, if you accept the premise of the feed) by advanced technology. Why speak with your mouth when you can share thoughts with your friends? Why gather around a screen to watch a sports event (or, heaven forbid, attend in person) when you can all tune to the same channel and watch in your head? Why? Because interpersonal communication differentiates us from lower mammals (assuming you accept that we really do belong higher up on the food chain). Future teens do not communicate in these old-fashioned ways because they don't have to. There's the rub. Do technological changes improve our quality of life because they make some tasks easier to accomplish? Or do they diminish our experience because they make it easier to opt out? I will leave that up to you as you read this book. The initial chapters were a bit of a turn-off for me. It is so painful to hear the kids chat. Unfortunately, in the author's view, the indiscriminate and incorrect use of the work "like" continues into future centuries. Like, that is so lame! But we need to be steeped in this monotony to appreciate the rich story line that the author develops between Titus and Violet. This is no Romeo and Juliet story, though I suppose an enterprising English teacher may ask her / his class to compare the two, but it is a story of youthful innocence, self-consciousness, and hope. That said, this is not a book for younger or sensitive readers. There are scenes that include drug use and profanity. One test of a great book (for me) is how it ends. I was apprehensive as the story neared its conclusion. But I was quite pleased with the way the author chose to end this story. If you choose to read this book, I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did and that it gets you to think a little more about what it means to be a person and what we can do to enrich our time here a little more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2356621-feed-a-dystopian-novel-about-mind-control-rebellion-and-technology](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/2356621-feed-a-dystopian-novel-about-mind-control-rebellion-and-technology) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
