For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon—a chance to party during spring break and play 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 has decided to fight the feed and its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr., National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson creates a not-so-brave new world—and a smart, savage satire ushering us into an imagined future that veers unnervingly close to the here and now.

I Still Would Want a Brain Implant

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 …
