Feed

I have to admit, I found Feed a little hard to get into at first. However, I kept at it and it wasn't long before I got sucked in.

Being an English teacher, I naturally found an excuse to discuss it with a couple of my students. I gave them the run-down of what it was about, and asked if they thought it was in any way a realistic portrayal of what the future could be. One of them said it sounded like a metaphor or a fable, and I think that's how I see it, too.

What are our "feeds" in society today? To the teens I talked to, their feeds were peer pressure, or even pressure from teachers and parents and everyone else who "tells them what to think." I think it is certainly a very, very interesting parallel to draw.
