Book review: https://www.geeksundergrace.com/books/book-review-feed-by-m-t-anderson/
"Feed is a portrait of what it looks like to be conformed to the image of the world. It shows a generation of slaves that have been trained to enjoy their slavery, and refuse to humble themselves to realize that they might not have everything they need, that something precious has been lost in the constant noise of information and the way their lives have been commodified. And it shows how hard it is to resist the Feed, to try to have your mind renewed and become a person that the world no longer has any power over. (And it does not shy away from the cost of that decision.)"

Are you interested in my "Looking Around the Labyrinth" project? This would involve applying the research frame I have been pursing to your own community, profession, or issue of interest; bookmarking some relevant materials on Kumu.io as a map or pin board; and chatting with me in a podcast. I will help you along the way. If so, shoot me an email at timpsila@protonmail.com.
