Summary:
‘This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the greater sinister likelihood of commercial- and media-dominated culture.’ -Web publishers Weekly(starred review)
For Titus and his friends, it began like any regular visit to the moon – an opportunity to party during spring break and play with some stupid low-grav on the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending these to the hospital to lie around with nothing at all inside their mind for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a lovely, brainy teenage lady who has decided to combat the feed and its own omnipresent capability to categorize human being thoughts and wishes. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., M. T. Anderson has generated a not-so-brave new world – and a good, savage satire that has captivated visitors with its watch of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the right here and now.
