This book, this genre really gets under my skin. It was a good read and an excellent societal critique but it creeped me out so much that I can't give it five stars. It was very well done, but it just made me feel so sad. I don't think that is a failing of the book, but rather my failure to get pl...
After reading this book, I feel like I am somehow dumber. I mean, it's not really their fault that they seem pretty stupid...But it was still an interesting book for the most part.
I really enjoyed it, despite my expectations. As in Bruiser, there isn't really a romance here, just a friendship between a boy and a girl. As satire, I'm not sure it goes far enough. Nonetheless, I can see why it would be both popular and influential YA. I would have freaking loved this in my t...
This book was amazing. I read the entire thing in two short sittings, but not because it was overly simplistic or juvenile. I just couldn’t put it down.

The portrayal of a future American culture obsessed with consumerism, enabled by super efficient marketing techniques, is too real to be ignored. It is difficult to see the difference between adults and teenagers, both make frequent use of coars...
Blurb: - In this chilling novel, Anderson imagines a society dominated by the feed a next-generation Internet/television hybrid that is directly hardwired into the brain. Teen narrator Titus never questions his world, in which parents select their babies' attributes in the conceptionarium, corporati...
A brilliant, scathing commentary on our world today: pop culture, youth culture, consumerism, colonialism, environmentalism. Anderson is incredible at creating futuristic pop culture, comprised of trends like "speech tattoos" (in which someone pays to have a word--say, a brand name--inserted into ...
