Everything Must Go...Feed is a very cynical 2002 cyberpunk, young adult novel by M.T. Anderson, exploring the life of Anti-Hero protagonist Titus, in a dystopian future where technology has advanced so far that "Feeds" or miniature-computers are implanted into about 73% the population's brains by gigantic corporations. This was definitely a good idea.The main plot of the story is Titus' relationship with a girl named Violet. During a concert on the moon, 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 series. Or the 2005 Australian horror film. | |

| Feed (2002) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Violet's dad might count, although not technically being a main protagonist in the story. Titus goes through one too. After a visit with the deteriorating Violet late in the book, he strips naked and sits on his floor, ordering the same pair of jeans online until he's cleaned out his credit. | |

Body Horror: Deconstructed with the lesions, which are still very disgusting but end up becoming trendy to have because a few celebrities started showing them off. It gets to the point that Quendy ends up getting lessons artificially carved into her skin, which is described as painful to her and visually akin to badly done plastic surgery, with absolutely no one approving of what she's done to herself. | |
