Feed is set in the not too distant future when people have implants that allow them to have all the functions of a computer or smartphone embedded into their neurological system. This has all the benefits that you could imagine, as well as all of the consequences. After being maliciously hacked while on spring break on the Moon, Titus and his friends are temporarily shut off from the network. While most recover with no issues, Violet’s connection is never corrected. Her life slowly unravels as her feed becomes increasingly dysfunctional.

This review contains spoilers for Divergent, so if you haven’t read it yet consider yourself warned.
Insurgent is the sequel to Veronica Roth’s Divergent. (See my review here.) This book is set in the aftermath of the Erudite led attack on Abnegation at the end of book one. Tris, along with Tobias, attempts to discover the information that her parents died to protect. Divergent status takes on a different role inInsurgent, as it is revealed there are more divergents than most people suspected, and that they seem to be the key motivation behind the attack.
