About this book

Book Summary

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break.

But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M. T. Anderson's not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

"This satire offers a thought-provoking and scathing indictment that may prod readers to examine the more sinister possibilities of corporate-and media-dominated culture." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A gripping, intriguing, and unique cautionary novel." —School Library Journal

"Many teens will feel a haunting familiarity about this future universe." —Booklist
