The Feed by Nick Clark Windo

Your knowledge.
Your memories.
Your dreams.
If all that you are is on the Feed, who are you when the Feed goes down?
The Feed is everywhere. It can be accessed by anyone, at any time. Every interaction, every emotion, every image can be shared through it.
Tom and Kate use The Feed, but they have resisted addiction to it. And this will serve them well when The Feed collapses.
Until their six-year-old-daughter, Bea, goes missing.
Because how do you find someone in a world devoid of technology? And what happens when you can no longer trust your loved ones are really who they claim to be?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Nick Clark Windo’s debut SF dystopia has some fascinating ideas about memory, knowledge and the dangers posed by over-reliance on technology and I really enjoyed how integral The Feed is to people’s lives but a twist half way through the book, while intriguing, also raised more questions than answers and I felt that the introduction of a time-travel element caused the story to lose its way and my interest waned, although I’d read his next book.
