Description:
"Evocative of Black Mirror, The Feed is a visceral warning about our addiction to technology and shortening attention spans in the form of an optimistic, engaging human perseverance tale." - Tal M. Klein, author of The Punch Escrow "A chilling, dystopian page-turner--I was hooked from the very beginning and haunted for days after finishing it." - S.J. Watson, bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep "THE FEED examines our addiction to technology through the lens of a bleak dystopia, reminiscent of The Road. A deft and extremely clever work of sci-fi that kept me completely immersed in the world Windo created." - Joe Hart, WSJ bestselling author of The Last Girl "Easily one of the most powerful and disturbing novels of the year, a dystopian mash-up of Cormac McCarthy''s The Road and Jack Finney''s The Body Snatchers (sans alien pods) with a heavy nod towards John Wyndham, Nigel Kneale, Philip K Dick and Orwell''s 1984." - Starburst Magazine "[A] brilliant, highly charged debut." - Daily Mail (UK) "A compelling story of people rediscovering what it means to be human in a world abruptly unplugged." - Christopher Brown, author of Tropic of Kansas "A tense thriller with a strong vein of the speculative. And that ending . . . blimey!" - Den Patrick, author of The Boy With the Porcelain Blade "Nick Clark Windo''s captivating debut is a dark, thought-provoking read. Tap into The Feed and it will change your world." - Adam Hamdy, author of Pendulum "Imagine a mash-up of "Black Mirror" episodes in post-apocalyptic Britain." - Washington Post "This thought-provoking debut shines a speculative light on the subjects of connection, disconnection, and identity in a not-so-distant digital age. The fast pace and absorbing plot will keep readers racing to the end." - Library Journal (starred review) "Surprising and ambitious, The Feed takes connectivity to a terrifying extreme--and then rips it away. Technology-addled survivors are forced to relearn how to live in a world in which nothing is safe, not even sleep. Fascinating." - Alexandra Oliva, author of The Last One "Nick Clark Windo''s debut, quickly establishes this is not your typical post-apocalyptic scenario [...] Though there are clear similarities to "The Walking Dead" and "The Circle," the book offers fresh, smart commentary about digital dependence and its potential effect on our minds and relationships." - Washington Post (Best Science Fiction and Fantasy -- March 2018) "Think The Road intricately wrapped around Station Eleven with a dash of Oryx and Crake...Windo pushes all the right buttons in this post-apocalyptic mashup." - Kirkus Reviews "A startling and timely debut which presents a world as unique and vividly imagined as Station Eleven and The Girl With All the Gifts." - Fantastic Faction "Warning: THE FEED is ludicrously addictive...I devoured this story barely putting it down. Great concept, great execution, plenty of book trauma with a huge emotional rush of an ending. Left me vaguely tearful. Highly Recommended." - Liz Loves Books "What a riveting and original novel! The Feed is frighteningly believable and disturbing and I loved the way I was pulled into its dark reality, so convincing it''s almost unbearable. The Feed is one of those rare novels that changes your mind as you read it." - Helen Dunmore, author of The Siege "I really enjoyed it and what a great ending!" - Martina Cole, author of the Sunday Times bestselling DCI Kate Burrows series "A really clever and original book. A tense thriller wrapped up in a scarily plausible dystopian nightmare, with a twist that will make your head explode!" - C.J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man
