Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage
love in a futuristic society where people connect to the
Internet via feeds implanted in their brains.
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 readers with its view of
an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here
and now.
