Just in case you can’t see beyond the first photo, here’s the Friday 56 sentence below:
My First Thoughts:
I took this picture for Friday56/BB when I started reading it back in Dec, but never used it as Christmas took over my blog and my life lol I often read more than one book at a time, and somehow this one just missed out and I never got very far through. No doubt there was something more pressing to finish at the time! So I’m back into reading this now and thoroughly enjoying it, so far.
The Feed by Nick Clark Windo
THE FEED by Nick Clark Windo is a startling and timely debut which presents a world as unique and vividly imagined as STATION ELEVEN and THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS and explores what it is to be human in the digital age.
It makes us. It destroys us.
The Feed is everywhere. It can be accessed by anyone, at any time. Every interaction, every emotion, every image can be shared through it.
Tom and Kate use The Feed, but they have resisted addiction to it. And this will serve them well when The Feed collapses.
Until their six-year-old daughter, Bea, goes missing.
Because how do you find someone in a world devoid of technology? And what happens when you can no longer trust that your loved ones are really who they claim to be?

This is not what I would consider my usual read, but I am totally captivated by it. I think that’s because it speaks to our reality these days of that desire by some to be totally connected all the time and the challenges social media has given us as a society. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds intriguing. I’ll have to look into it more and wait to see what you think. This week I have Final Siege by Scarlett Cole. Happy reading!
Hi Kathy! I’ll let you know 🙂
Such an appropriate topic for modern times. I was just reading an article about smart phone addiction.
Glad you rediscovered it from last month. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
Sounds like an interesting article, Roberta. Thanks!
Hi, This sounds really interesting, and it sounds as though some big questions are being tackled in the novels’ themes. Now following your blog, and thanks for visiting and following mine

Thanks Jo-Ann, have a great weekend, too!
Hi Sass,
This probably isn’t a book I would choose to read. However, given what the premise says about a society for the protagonists, which is devoid of technology by their own choosing, the tag line attached to the book rings even more true …
“It makes us. It destroys us.”
Can we ever really afford to shun digital and technological progress, or do we do so at our own peril?
A thought provoking prospect and I hope that the book hooks you in a bit more this time around 🙂
Yvonne
It is a very thought provoking book, and so topical, even though it’s set in the future I can almost see the world going this way if we’re not careful.
Hmm… kind of curious about this one. Those excerpts sure grab ya.
Hope it grabs you enough to read it 🙂
Once you are done with this book, read FEED by MT Anderson. Then do a compare/contrast review!
Thank you!, Anne! I will do! I love book recommendations like these 😉
That 56 is pretty dark. I’m not sure what’s going on but I’m intrigued.
Great! Glad you’re intrigued, Alicia!
I really want to know more! Thanks for sharing, Sassy!
