In the Fictional Dystopia "Feed" by M. T. Anderson, it takes place in a future world were people have basically the internet connected to their head and feeds through there head, completely with ads and pop ups as I saw in the first twenty pages of the book. Then they get bored and one of them suggests to go to the moon because of this cool new low gravity zone called "Ricochet", which they all don't really want to go because apparently in their mind, low gravity sucks. This is one of the reasons why I would not like to live in this time and place that is shown in the story. Number one, the people in the story that I'd have to conversant with are so snobby and boring that I would immediately despise all the people my age due to this. Another thing that would drive me mad is what the people say to each other. I never really liked the word "Dude" being said constantly, the future version of this word is now "Unit" which to me sounds like a computer-y version of this which seems almost insulting. The final reason why I wouldn't live in this world is the information, having this feed of information, though sounds great, but with the ads and popups it would get extremely frustrating, all this information flooding right in front of your face having to think it closed, I would get so many headaches if this were a thing. This is why I wouldn't like to live in this world
