Harrisonville: Teen Book Club
January’s selection: Feed by M.T. Anderson
The story depicts a future in which the Internet has evolved into the "Feednet"; a computer network to which the brains of American citizens are directly connected by means of an implanted computer chip called a "Feed", which about 73 percent of Americans have set in their brain. Privacy has become a thing of the past. Corporations are free to monitor and manipulate citizens' thoughts. Thoughts are interrupted by the mental equivalent of pop-up ads; sometimes to a debilitating degree and the government can even subpoena one's memories.
The question we will be looking at in book club…
Could this really happen?
What do you think?
