THE FEED

Author Windo and narrator Clare Corbett emphasize the complicated emotional journeys in this disjointed story. Together they craft a compelling human drama within a technological dystopia. Tom and his pregnant wife, Kate, inhabit a world governed by the Feed, a highly evolved social media platform implanted directly into the brain. When the Feed is violently destroyed, civilization collapses, leaving survivors in a society in which even language must be relearned. When their daughter disappears, Tom and Kate must brave the world outside their enclave, where no one can be trusted. Corbett shines in her narration, capturing Kate's vulnerabilities while emphasizing her growing, if quiet, strength. Windo renders Tom's divided loyalties and fearsome determination, leaving listeners wondering just how far he'll go to ensure his family's safety.
