Summary Of Feed By M. T. Anderson

Do you think it will be possible for the human race to lose what it means to be a human? In the book feed by M.T. Anderson empathy of any sort is almost non-existent. In this novel there will be several concepts represented. Proving that communication in the book Feed by M.T. Anderson is no longer meaningful, since essential development for human is lost in most.

Citizens with the feed do not value talent to create an affluent or meaningful life. As a citizen born with the feed being implanted as a baby, Titus finds it difficult to understand rebels such as his girlfriend Violet and the hacker. Given the fact that it’s almost impossible to develop meaningful thoughts with what the feed does to him. Though Titus can notice

I will. When? I’m not used to this. What do you do for fun? When? Normally. I haven’t been on the moon before. I mean, anywhere. What do you do? (Anderson 36). Titus is seemingly confused and curious as to how Violet cannot seem to find fun in any of the activities they do together. Whereas Violet is seen as all over the place since she does not know what do or say when he mentions this, which is obviously a normal human reaction for some. Similarly, some teens in this day an age mention technology and how, “it makes it harder for people to socialize in real life, because they become accustomed to not interacting with people in person.” (Anderson 3).
