The Feed

Más información sobre el libro

Set in a vividly imagined post-apocalyptic world, this debut novel explores the essence of humanity and connection in the digital age. The Feed, a ubiquitous tool linking everyone to information and emotions, is integral to daily life. Tom and Kate rely on it, but Tom's resistance to its addictive nature makes him an outlier, especially since his father created it. Their lives change drastically when the Feed collapses after a catastrophic event, leaving society in ruins. With modern conveniences gone, survival becomes a desperate struggle; food is scarce, and minor illnesses can be fatal. Trust erodes as individuals must fend for themselves in a harsh new reality. While Tom and Kate strive to protect their family, their world is further upended when their six-year-old daughter, Bea, goes missing. In a technology-free landscape, they face the daunting challenge of searching for her. As they navigate this perilous environment, they grapple with uncertainty about the identities of those around them and the true nature of their loved ones. The story delves into themes of dependency, survival, and the fragility of human connections in a world stripped of its digital lifelines.
