The votes are in and have been tabulated. Ladies and gentleman, the book selected for the Common Book Project 2012-13 is M.T. Anderson’s Feed.It was a very close race, with Anderson’s novel triumphing over Margaret Atwood’s The Shadow Side of Wealth by only six votes.
Feed is a dark satire about corporate power, consumerism, information technology and data mining in society. The novel depicts how every human's life completely revolves around advertising, as well as the knowledge and will that the Feed not only provides them with information on demand, but manipulates their real decision-making.
