Summary:
Titus is the
typical teenager except for the feed – a government advertisement implant. He
meets Violet on the moon and he instantly falls for her. Violet is different,
she speaks instead of e-chats. That is because the feed was installed at 7
years old instead of birth. Her feed starts to malfunction, but she continues
to act like she is receiving it. She goes shopping but doesn’t buy anything. At
a party, Violet starts to yell at Titus’ friends. Shortly after they break up.
Violet is ill and Titus comes over. Her
dad explains he feels horrible about not installing the feed earlier. She is in
bed making noise and she cannot control her body. Titus returns and talks about
current events. He soon realizes his
love for her.
The lesson of
the book is not to be too dependent on technology. For example, when Violet
freaks out at Link’s party. She points out the need to constant information. We
can relate because the majority of us have a smartphone. We can checking
emails, texts, and social media.
