But then Titus doesn't think much period. He's got his "feed" – an internet implant linked directly into his brain – to do his thinking for him. It tells him where to party or get the hottest bargains and how to accessorize the mysterious lesions everyone's been getting lately. But then Titus meets Violet, a girl who cares what's happening to the world and challenges everything Titus and his friends hold dear. A girl who decides to fight the feed...
.. a treat for jaded palates, executed with sustained energy ... it has an intelligent self-confidence and everyone should read it. * The Bookseller *
