If You Like Books review: Feed by M.T. Anderson

If you like: the internet * dystopian futures * life imitating art

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.

If You Like Books review: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

If you like: dystopia * corruption * enhanced abilities

Under the Never Sky is a dystopian future where Aether storms are turning the environment into a violent and dangerous place. Privileged people have fled to secure Pods where they can live without ever interacting with the outside world. Outside the Pod barriers, those who remain have evolved with the planet. They interact differently with the world that many would imagine possible. When Aria is forced into the outside, she discovers that it may be safer than inside the walls.

If You Like Books review: Mutt by Evan Fuller

If you like: dystopia * Good Samaritans * class warfare

Mutt is the debut novel of Evan Fuller (who was kind enough to provide me with a copy for this review), and the first book of a five part series. Mutt is set in a dystopian future where humanity has barely survived, and the historical records are fractured. Society has evolved into a multiple class systems – purebloods live within the city walls with all of the inherent luxuries and mutts are forced to survive in the wild. Those inside the walls favor the current system, with detractors like Emery who uses his inheritance to smuggle in mutts and help them survive.

If You Like Books review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

If you like: traitors * overcoming fears * selflessness

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.
