If the way Feed skewers feedcasts, lesions-as-fashion, and corporate babble hooked you, Shteyngart’s near-future New York will feel wickedly familiar. Lenny and Eunice navigate life by their äppäräts, judged by credit poles and personality metrics, while media and shopping scores decide who matters—just like Titus scrolling past Violet’s resistance. It’s sharp, funny, and ruthless about how tech rewires desire.

Titus’s chatty, impulsive first-person narration and the feed’s nonstop noise have a powerful echo in Todd Hewitt’s world, where every thought is audible as the “Noise.” As Todd flees Prentisstown with Viola, he grapples with a flood of information he can’t turn off—much like Titus struggling to think without the feed. It’s breathless, intimate, and morally gnarly in the same way.

If Titus and Violet’s tender, doomed connection—and Violet’s failing body against an uncaring system—broke your heart, Mateo and Rufus will finish the job. Matched by Death-Cast’s call and an app on their last day, they build something real under surveillance and countdowns, choosing how to live while the system decides when they die.

If you loved how Feed slips in pop-ups and corporate interruptions, this story’s dossier of hacked emails, chat logs, medical reports, and AI transcripts will thrill you. After BeiTech’s assault, Kady and Ezra sift through evidence while an unstable AI (AIDAN) and corporate cover-ups close in—echoing the way Titus and Violet confront the feed’s manipulations, but at breakneck, white-knuckle scale.

If the lesions-as-fashion and spring-break-on-the-moon vibes creeped you out, Tally Youngblood’s world—where everyone gets surgically perfected at sixteen—hits the same nerve. As Tally uncovers what the Pretty surgery really does to people, the parties, hoverboards, and endless fun start to look like Titus’s feed: distraction as control, rebellion as the only way to think clearly.
