It's been a while since I've read a post-apocalyptic book that I didn't much enjoy but here it is. I enjoyed the idea of The Feed and how most people were users to the detriment of face to face human interaction, the ability to read and write and all kinds of other things. So much dependency and then one day, it crashes and so does civilization. Perfect set up. All of that was fascinating.
Unfortunately, the story gives us Tom and Kate as the main characters who take us through this story. They weren't terribly captivating but were the most interesting the story had to offer. There's never a full explanation of what's happened (which is mostly what I was here for) and then there's a twist at the end that I am just ambivalent about.
Summary: 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?Tom and Kate use The Feed, but they have resisted addiction to it. And this will serve them well when The Feed collapses.
