YA Review: Feed by M.T. Anderson

This is one of my favorite books to book-talk to high school English classes. M.T. Anderson has crafted an unforgettable, chilling satire of a futuristic world where vacations are spent on other planets or their moons, cars fly themselves on autopilot, and the internet, television, and texting are all part of the 'feed' placed inside your head.  There is no need for traditional school since you can use the feed for educational things like, "looking up the battles George Washington was in back in the Civil War or whatever."  The Feed is uber-commercialized and personalized, sending instant commercials to a person based on their thoughts, emotions, or surroundings.  Given the technology and information available to them, as well as the world-- galaxy, rather-- at their fingertips, what else is there to do but party and be total idiots? 
Like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Feed examines a not-so-unimaginable reality and questions a consumer culture that lacks purpose, emotion, or even a soul.  This is a highly recommended book, and on my must-read list.
