I would definitely agree with Kate McClelland and her students regarding the importance and timeliness of the book Feed. It definitely has a frightening message of how our current adoration of the Internet, taken to extremes, can run horribly out of control. I love the Internet, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I will ever see banner ads in quite the same way again.
This book is definitely a must read. For those of you who have read the book, did you find the ending hopeful, that perhaps Titus had a change of heart regarding his role in his future? What do you think?
