M.T. Anderson

A Time Magazine 100 Best YA Books of All Time SelectionThe tour de force that set the gold standard for dystopian YA fiction — in a compelling paperback edition.For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon — a chance to party during spring break. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who has decided to fight the feed and its ever-present ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. M. T. Anderson’s not-so-brave new world is a smart, savage satire that has captivated readers with its view of an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

"This futuristic novel is already starting to become real in our world. An entertaining yet scary read. "

H2000

"One of the most disturbing books I think I've ever read, this story made my skin crawl from page one. While the arc was ... repulsive? It so clearly accomplished its dystopian, culture-critiquing goals, I can't help but give it 4+ stars. It's creepy. It's wrong. And it's ... so true. Like an episode of Black Mirror. <br/><br/>This is one of those books that will influence the way I see and talk about my world probably for the rest of my life."

Crimson Sparrow

"the predicted future of world takeover and domination through technological advances described by an ignorant teenage boy as he discovers the reality of technology and finds love. a good read!"

"I didnt really like it. The main character was sooo unlikable and the style of writing is not my thing."

Olivia Hill

"Something you read to ponder the hypothesized manner of existence (and how close it is to our own) rather than for the plot."

Cody Steele

"Hard to understand and disappointing characters "

"While it was definitely a valid commentary on consumerism, technology, and the state of the world, the main character wasn’t really that likeable. I also didn’t like the subtle sexual stuff with Violet and Titus, they could remove that and the book would’ve been the exact same. Not my style, but might work for someone else."

Malachi

"It's a great look into our possible future. "

Angie Mckinney

"Honestly, it wasn't really just my style. To me, the plot was boring."

"i thought this book was going to be more serious when i picked it up but i think its humorous style of writing just helps to underline its dark themes and how close to the real world they actually are"
