Bookroo's summary
Titus's spring break on the moon turns chaotic when a hacker crashes their feeds, leaving him and his friends in a mental void. Enter Violet, a rebellious girl determined to resist the feed's grip on human thoughts. As they navigate a world dominated by corporate control, Titus must decide whether to join Violet's fight or succumb to the feed's influence. Can they challenge a system that knows their every desire, or will they be consumed by it? Discover a future eerily close to our own in this sharp, satirical tale.
From the publisher
“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) For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. 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 omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a not-so-brave new world – and a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
