Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize.

For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. 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 knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires.

I Still Would Want a Brain Implant

4 stars

So we have another story that I really liked at the time that is Science Fiction & has to do with the space if only I was aware of this pattern sooner instead of trying to force the Fantasy meme.

This was the second book "real" novel that I can recall finishing reading and comprehending all the way through and found not to long after the first (though would be a a few years for the third). Not even sure why I gave this book a shot but I can definitely say I am very glad this book found me.

Now if I would to read this today would I like it as much as my computer & internet starved 13 year old self did. Tackled a lot "hey maybe don't put all your eggs into one modern computing" that you see in more main stream media today …

Tackled a lot "hey maybe don't put all your eggs into one modern computing" that you see in more main stream media today like Black Mirror. Though at the time for me at least those concepts where not very common and gave way to good story telling.

I will also say the one thing that stuck with me and lives in my head forever was this one girl who gave her self a bunch of lesions because it was the "cool thing" to do.
