Description
THE FEED by Nick Clark Windo is a startling and timely debut which presents a world as unique and vividly imagined as STATION ELEVEN and THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS and explores what it is to be human in the digital age.
It makes us. It destroys us.
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 that your loved ones are really who they claim to be?

Review quote
The Feed is a chilling, dystopian page-turner - I was hooked from the very beginning and haunted for days after finishing it. -- S J Watson [A] brilliant, highly charged debut * Daily Mail * Combining thriller with futuristic nightmare, Nick Clark Windo's debut novel presents an all too believable version of a near future . . . ambitious and thought-provoking -- S magazine Easily one of the most powerful and disturbing novels of the year . . . intensely original and constantly surprising . . . a visceral experience * Starburst * [An] admirable debut . . . succeeds as a sober, semi-satirical commentary on our connectivity-obsessed times * Financial Times * What a riveting and original novel! The Feed is frighteningly believable and disturbing and I loved the way I was pulled into its dark reality, so convincing that it's almost unbearable. The Feed is one of those rare novels that changes your mind as you read it. It is such a brilliant exploration of the hive-mind, taken to chilling extremes which almost destroy humanity. -- Helen Dunmore I really enjoyed it and what a great ending! -- Martina Cole An interesting post-apocalyptic science fiction novel that builds to a climax that embraces the three Hs - haunting, horrific and perhaps, hopeful * Science Fact and Science Fiction Concatenation * Nick Clark Windo's captivating debut is a dark, thought-provoking read. Tap into The Feed and it will change your world -- Adam Hamdy A really clever and original book. A tense thriller wrapped up in a scarily plausible dystopian nightmare, with a twist that will make your head explode! -- C. J. Tudor A tense thriller with a strong vein of the speculative. And that ending . . . blimey! -- Den Patrick I devoured this story barely putting it down . . . Highly recommended -- Liz Loves Books blog Splendid concept, beautifully and horrifyingly realised -- Espresso Coco blog Terrifyingly, brilliantly plausible * Observer *
