In Anderson's Feed, the majority of the American population is connected to the Internet with chips implanted in their brains. This may not be the first science fiction novel to explore the idea of ​​the Internet being in our brains, but it does so with an awareness of how this might affect our planet and our biological being in a very visceral and carnal way. Feed is destroying the planet and disrupting common, basic biological functions. Not only are humans themselves decaying and humanity is ceasing to exist, but the planet has also become so polluted that it cannot support or sustain natural cycles or maintain many wildlife populations. The Feed is literally an organ, an integral part of your body: "Before that, computers were all outside the body. They carried them outside, in their hands, as if you carried your lungs in a briefcase and opened it to breathe" ( 47). This demonstrates how people have become so integrated with technology that they cannot distinguish it from an internal element of themselves. Electrical media, in this sense, is less an extension of the body, but rather an incorporation, an organ that infiltrates and merges with the brain. The Feed actually can't be turned off, only disconnected, because, as Violet, one of the main characters, points out, "it's connected everywhere. They said the limbic system, the motor cortex... the hippocampus. They listed all these things . If the feed fails too badly and may interfere with basic processes." (171).Feed shows how humanity has fallen in the wake of a technological society. Even our memories are now outsourced, in the sense that we allow our memories to be systematically organized and controlled by the cloud interface and buy them back as a service. In... middle of paper... America. In this world, people have become the channels and servants of multinational corporations; their memories, and therefore humanity, are guaranteed only by their shopping stories. The novel suggests that the whole society and the earth are about to collapse, even on a very basic biological level: "Not always everything was fine, because most people's hair fell out and we were bald, and we had less and less skin" (277). Titus even notes that "My mother had lost so much skin that you could see her teeth even when her mouth was closed" (283). If the reader pays attention to these small details, he or she might agree with Violet that these people are monsters, monsters created by the corporations they created. Monsters to whom we feed our world and our own flesh, so that they can sell us other things, satisfying our desires that the Feed has already created.
