Feed by M.T. Anderson
funny reflective tense

titus reminded me of ben from shortcomings (2023) a little mainly because
he took violet for granted and it pissed me off so bad even though that was the point. hate seeing media representation for people... especially masc people... taking their passionate/politically-aware/thoughtful partners for granted and then feeling bad about it. actually i think you SHOULD feel even WORSE


the use of vocab in this had me thinking a lot about the scaffolding for creating lingo for ubiquitous technology in sci-fi/spec-fic settings. i was kind of taken aback by how prescient this felt about algorithms today, particularly with the advent of ai. enjoyed the larger sense of world-building and was at the very least compelled by this interpretation of microchips/feeds — particularly the stratification of feeds by class and the conversations around their consent. totally see why lillian mentioned this book to me during workshop
