{{Feed}} is a very [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism cynical]] 2002 {{cyberpunk}}, young adult novel by [[Creator/MatthewTobinAnderson M.T. Anderson]], exploring the life of AntiHero protagonist Titus, in a [[BadFuture dystopian future]] where technology has advanced so far that "Feeds" or miniature-computers are implanted into about 73% the population's brains.

The main plot of the story is Titus' relationship with a girl named Violet. After a party, Titus, Violet, and the rest of their friends are damaged by a hacker. They are eventually released after a brief visit at the hospital.

Then it all goes to Hell.

Not to be confused with the first volume of the ''{{Newsflesh}}'' trilogy.
