About this episode

This is a love story.Imagine a world where corporations have conquered the solar system. Mars is where you go for fun. The moon, for parties. Saturn? I vacationed there last month. Venus is for honeymoons.Now imagine those same corporations have conquered something else: your mind. Feednet is the internet, wired straight into your brain, stitched in before you're even born. It's how you think, how you talk, how you reach the rest of the universe.This is the world of Feed by M.T. Anderson: corporate greed, consumerism, environmental collapse on a literally planetary scale, total surveillance. Sounds bleak, right?But even here, some things survive. Envy survives. Jealousy survives. And yes, falling in love survives.This is a love story about two young people who meet on the moon, and try to hold onto each other while everything around them, them included, is falling apart.This is a love story.
