Feed by M.T. Anderson
Feed is set in a not so improbable future. Following the lines opened by the acceptance of internet connection chips implanted for educational experiences, most people now have a FEED which sees everthing the person does and then connects those actions and desires with products, tailoring advertising for each thing the person sees.
Titus is a young man on the lookout for girls and alcohol. He and a group of his friends go to the moon as something new and exciting to do however the moon is over. Then Titus meets Violet and she seems so different (she is very like Stargirl). It seems that Violet got her Feed only recently and is just now exploring the world it has opened for her. While dancing, the group is infected with a computer virus by an activist. Most of the group have their feeds fixed quickly but Violet continues to have problems with hers. As Titus and Violet learn more about each other and fall in love, Violet's Feed deteriorates until she becomes trapped in her unresponsive body. Violet brings Titus to question and resist the Feed.
