It is clear to the reader that those without the feed are left out of conversations simply because they do not have chat abilities. Then they were silent, just looking at me… I realized that they had chatted me, and that I had not responded. Anderson writes, “I needed work, I was at a job interview. Anderson uses communication through the feed and the lack of dialogue to condemn texting and social media. Anderson uses the feed and its downfalls: lack of verbal communication, lack of proper education, and personalized advertising to allegorically convey a satirical message that as a whole, society has become dependent of modern technology. In a world where people would rather text than call, ask Siri instead of a professor, or surf the web than initiate a conversation, even a futuristic, sci-fi novel can be seen as a warning: a story of what we could become. In a world as technologically savvy as todays, a gentle warning cannot hurt.
