"Feed" reviw

what an interesting look at the future and the consumer in all of us.

the book takes place far enough in the future we have started to colonize other planets in our solar system, and to the point we have begun to melding mind and machine. in this time every one is wired much like teenagers are now with cell phones, but for these kids they have the feed. the feed is a direct connection from there minds to every thing the Internet and cell phones can do.

that is not the only ting that has changed in this time. they also have gotten to the point the most of there lives are controlled by big business. any thing from constant advertisements and fashion alerts, down to the school(owned by big business) teaching them how to become better consumers.

they have gotten to the point no one needs to learn because they have the feed at there minds reach. they can grab any peace of information they need, so of course higher education has become a thing of the past. now people are nothing but a small cog in the larger economy that must drive forward or crash.

so because of the feed adults are more like teenagers, saying and doing things that are just not part of being a good adult. the world it self has begun to spiral out of control. people live in their little bubble homes with, the mall, work, and school the only other places they see. to see out side their bubbles is to see a world where natural life has been pushed out for progress. where food of all kinds meat included is grown from the ground.

where roaches rule all the dark spaces. imagine 100 of millions of roaches, all scurrying between the dark places between bubbles. imagine shining a flood light below to see the tops of the bubbles moving like a black sea of roaches. not only has nature adapted but much of it has changed to fit its new soundings, but there are some things that we can do to nature that it can not stop, or adapt to.

by the end of the book it becomes obvious that many people are going to die as there bodies begin to be destroyed around them. can this death be the only future, no of course not, but that is what this book is for. to tell us some times we have to open our eye beyond what we are fed through some feed, to see what is real. to see things as they are and not by what others are telling us they should be going on, whether it be good or bad we are fed.
