Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family; she called herself an "excitement addict."

From her first moment at Merryweather High, Melinda Sordino knows she's an outcast. She busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, a major infraction in high-school society, so her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't know glare at her. She retreats into her head, where the lies and hypocrisies of high school stand in stark relief to her own silence, making her all the more mute.

Publisher's Summary
"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 listeners with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.
Critic Reviews
"A gripping, intriguing and unique cautionary novel." (School Library Journal)
"This brilliant production for older teen listeners enhances Anderson's portrait of a world gone sour, in which even the adults have forgotten how to use language, and everything is dying, including the kids." (AudioFile)
"Anderson deftly combines elements of today's teen scene...with imaginative and disturbing fantasy twists...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)

Loved it, plain and simple
I had actually read this book years ago. The fact that Audible had it on audiobook was among the biggest reasons I even joined the site.
The language is a bit hard to understand, I understand that's a big critique of this book. But it makes more sense to me to have it written the way it was. Yes, it's in some kind of slang and not exactly completely grammatically correct; But the book is a story being told from a teenager. In a world where grammar and linguistics are highly unimportant. It's the same way I feel about the Nadsat in Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange". Yes, it's also vulgar at times. But again; Do teenagers not talk this way - At least, when not around their parents?
The story isn't very original, but it's well told. The language isn't perfect, but it fits well. While the narrator wasn't great, he did a fair job.
I say give this book a listen, especially if you're closer to the teen range. 16-20 is perfect, in my opinion. It's message isn't limited to "internet overload" or "saving the earth"; It is my opinion that what you're supposed to take away from this book is the importance of having a desire to learn. Learn as much as you can, while you have the time. And don't just take what information other people hand you.

First time I've been moved to write a review
I don't remember when or how I first heard about this book but it took me a long time to finally read/listen to it. I'm glad I ended up getting this in audiobook format as it's an excellent production, from the narrator's performance to how the snippets of "Feed" were presented. The story itself was unexpectedly strong kept pulling me along so I didn't want to stop listening. The book is a mix of a few devices/themes including the unfamiliar slang of A Clockwork Orange, the satirical advertising of Grand Theft Auto radio stations, and the media critique of the UK television series Black Mirror -- but it takes these in its own direction. Dystopian stories have become more popular lately but this take, although more than a decade old, still holds up.

Audio book was great, book...not so much
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I was not a huge fan of the story or the characters. Fell short for me.
Would you ever listen to anything by M.T. Anderson again?
Perhaps!
What about David Aaron Baker’s performance did you like?
I enjoyed his intonation and voices, he made listening to a lack-luster story exciting.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Feed as a novel and as a performance.
If you could sum up Feed in three words, what would they be?
dystopian cyperderp literature
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Feed wasn't written to be enjoyable as much as it was written to point at some of the most uncomfortable aspects of our society. What made this less enjoyable realizing that it was written in 2003 before most of the online website and purchase tracking was as prolific as it obviously is now. I think the highlight of this story is that its lack of enjoyability.
What does David Aaron Baker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Having listened to this book outside of class, and then having reviewed that actual, physical text for class, I noticed a lot differences. There are some peripheral examples, like the fact that Baker refers to the school as SCHOOL inc., where as the book has printed SCHOOL TM, but those are mostly material. What struck me, and made me harshly aware that I was listening to an audiobook rather than reading a book is the transitions that authors uses to sometimes represent the movement of the story. These breaks consists of blips and excerpts from what we can assume is the modern media of Feed's world. These are commercials for products, presidential speeches, and clips of dystopian cyberpop, and they generally inform us about the political and educational climates of Anderson's world. Where in the text these blips would obviously just be represented by words on pages, the audiobook utilizes its audible element to create actual sound bytes. I think this is important because while it blatantly separates the experience of hearing the book from reading it, it also emphasizes the benefits of multimodal media (which i support as a cool sort of genre of media).
Any additional comments?
Anderson's Feed creates an apt examination of an increasingly connected, digital America. The story is intended more for reflection than for the exciting, street-samurai plot one might expect from this sort of cyberpunk distopian genre. I don't think we're intended to like the character, or necessarily the story. Nevertheless, this is an important and (hopefully extreme) prediction of how humanity can contort the intentions of technology. Having read this ten years after it was written, and only a few weeks after the now ominous announcement of google's smart glasses, I really appreciate this story and I recommend it to anyone.

This was an excellent book
First, I’d like to say that I can’t believe this book was written before the age of smartphones! M.T Anderson has the same kind of foresight as E.M. Forster’s The Machine Stops.
Half Idiocracy, half end of times, this book is strange in its elegance and a startling gut punch. The commercials make it, because they are all oddly discordant and menacing. The snippets of news that our main character mostly ignores tells a dark story of its own.
This is one book that flourishes in audio format because, without Titus and the ads of his Feednet to help navigate us through his terrible world, I think we’d feel lost.
I’ve read 28 books so far in 2019 and, so far, this is my favorite by a long stretch. It’s important to read or listen, and to look at the big picture of American consumerism, capitalism, and our impact on the environment. This book should be taught in schools.
Overall, I highly, highly suggest you read it.

Quirky, Sad, Scary View of the Future
This excellent novel is alternately frightening and hilarious. If you thought the kids from Jersey Shore were dumb, wait until you see how teens in the future world of "Feed" are presented. They are dense to begin with, and made more dense by their media- and consumer-soaked environment. Like any good dystopic novel, the future is recognizable (as it is based on trends that are prominent in culture today) and also a slap in the face.
At times I wonder if the humor is overplayed. At the heart of the plot is an extremely tragic situation, and when it hits, you feel caught off-guard. But that's a relatively minor criticism, as the work as a whole holds up very well and packs a punch.
The narration by David Aaron Baker is fantastic! He captures the voice of teenagers in an utterly charming and entertaining way. His performance suits the story perfectly.
A warning: be advised that this book is quite short. The running time is about half the running time of something like Hunger Games.

Do you like the internet?
This book was hard to get into at first, but it's overlying theme of internet overload and protecting the earth was difficult to avoid. The author stated his case and the book leaves you with many questions.
The author, who also wrote "Game of Sunken Places," is a master story teller. The story takes a bit to get into; the swearing and "valley speak" were heard to get past. You are quickly immersed in an America of the future in which everyone is hardwired to the internet and are constantly bombarded with consumerism and dull entertainment. A not-so-unique spin on an old sci-fi theme, but it has its eyebrow raising moments.
This book is great for a scifi fan over 15 yo. The language is very rough and, due to the lack of ability to communicate effectivly, much of the characters' emotions are inferred.

Production values are high and the narrator is very good. The slang language is easy to grasp - much friendlier than Nadsat.

In this future world, people are surgically-implanted with a device (Feed), which enables the user to communicate electronically with others, look up any information, access limitless hours of free entertainment and advertisements for products. The Feed even grows with them and takes over many of their basic functions, to the point where being able to read, write and even speak out loud is considered strange. The forests have gone and meat is genetically engineered to grow in huge slabs. People’s skin falls off due to disease and is marketed as the latest thing in ‘fashion’. Driven to distraction, very few people notice anything, even that the world is dying. For Titus and his friends, their journey starts out like any ordinary trip to the moon, a chance to party during spring break. It's here they meet Violet, a girl who has decided to fight the Feed and its omnipresent ability to categorise human thoughts and desires. They go to a club where a mysterious hacker attacks Titus and his friends’ Feeds, which malfunction and send them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. Filled with ‘modern’ teen slang and expressions and a strong narrative voice that's consistent throughout, Feed is a terrific twist on the YA dystopian sub-genre, Cyberpunk, blending the realities of teenage friendships with a rather sinister vision of a future that veers unnervingly close to the present.

Thought provoking
The Audiobook format really works for this story. it's imperfect but I thought about it for a long time after finishing it. (And the depiction of the president is eerily prophetic.)
