Since the feed is now intertwined with their bodies, it’s an actual potential medical emergency. Teenage narrator Titus and his friends are so accustomed to the feed mediating every aspect of their lives that they are hospitalized when an anti-technology protestor’s stunt temporarily disconnects them. In the 20 years since its publication, Feed has grown into a contemporary classic, a classroom staple frequently subjected to book-banning campaigns but often beloved by its readers, who marvel at how unnervingly predictive Anderson’s dystopia turned out to be. Debuting two years before Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in his dorm room and four years before he unveiled the Facebook News Feed, Feed takes place in a world where children get brain implants to create a permanent layer of augmented reality called “the feed.” In doing so, they become so engrossed by endless opportunities to buy stuff that they ignore their polluted environment, political tumult, and anything beyond their own material gratification. Anderson published the young adult novel Feed in 2002, there were no social media feeds to scroll in real life. ![]()

Much like many of these discussions, immediately people started to talk about the criticism as being bullying. They didn’t want others to be in that position. The TikTokers who had recorded those first videos were caught offguard. People continued to talk about it – mind you, the entire point of the original videos was to educate Latine readers, so they could decide if they wanted to read Drive, or her other works. Her Mexican friend had read it, and said it was okay. And Kate Stewart began to defend herself. ![]() ![]() (And as a biracial Mex-Am woman, you can bet I’ve got an opinion on that)Ĭritics talked about the harm that including this perpetuates, that it seemed wholly unnecessary in the context of the book. The book’s MC is a Latina who doesn’t identify as being Mexican-American, but rather prefers to be called Latina since she’s half-white. My FYP (For You Page, for the uninitiated) has been taken up with discussion about romance author Kate Stewart, and criticism after it was discovered that an early book of hers had a Latina lead, and included a racial slur against the Latine community. Mostly because I was looking for more books with Latine characters. I spend a lot of my time on TikTok, and I’ve found myself on the outskirts of BookTok. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reynolds, creates a wonderful world with warm feelings of love, hope, and kindness.
