WHAT TO LEARN:
“Feed” by M.T. Anderson is an award-winning, ahead-of-its-time, YA novel that people of all ages should read for its uncanny depiction of a future that we are currently already experiencing. It was one of my favourite novels read for high school and it continues to be one now that I am an adult. This book covers vocabulary related to informal American English and slang, neologisms, stream of consciousness, run-on speech, futurism, technology, social media, space, pop culture, adolescence, relationships (self, family, friendship, romance), communication, humanity, and much more…!
QUOTATION:
“I don’t know when they first had feeds. Like, maybe fifty or a hundred years ago. Before that, they had to use their hands and their eyes. Computers were all outside the body. They carried them around outside of them, in their hands, like if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe.”
