Feed (novel)

Feed (2002) is a dystopian novel by M. T. (Matthew Tobin) Anderson

The novel depicts a future world in which the Internet has evolved into the "feed"; a computer network to which everyone's brain is directly connected by way of an implanted computer chip. Privacy has become a thing of the past. Corporations monitor and manipulate everyone's thoughts, peoples thoughts are interrupted by the mental equivalent of pop-up ads, and the government can even subpoena someone's memories.

The novel is a dark satire about corporate power , consumerism, information technology, and data mining carried to terrifying extremes.
