In a future America, the internet has been implanted directly into people's brains — the feed delivers advertising, entertainment, and social updates in a constant stream from birth. Titus is a teenager who has never known anything else. Then he meets Violet, who is trying to resist the feed by behaving unpredictably — buying things she doesn't want, searching for random topics — to confuse the algorithm that has profiled her entire personality. Anderson published this in 2002 and it reads like a dispatch from 2024. The most prophetic YA novel about surveillance capitalism ever written and the one that most precisely describes what the attention economy does to a mind that grew up inside it. The essential companion to Little Brother for the stage-3 tech resistance shelf.
