The first part of this section of the book starts out with Titus having these intense, vivid nightmares about rioting, gunshots, and missiles being fired everywhere. I surprised so far that this hasn't been a main there so far in the book. I am waiting for something crazy to happen and for people to just rebel against the whole technology of the feed.
I think it's really weird that the people in this book will chat each other rather than talk out loud to one another, even if they are 2 feet away. It goes to show how socially slow M.T. Anderson sees the world becoming in the future. We are so dependent on our technology devices, that we sometimes struggle to have real life conversations.
From this section of the book, I am really feeling sad for Violet. The whole friend group doesn't much care for her and that's too bad. Titus seems like he's somewhat starting to get annoyed with her when she has her small outbursts. I feel like he genuinely does feel bad for her because of the issues with her feed, but I also feel like he gets mad about it even though she can’t control it. During the one party where Violet had an episode and had to ride in an ambulance, is when I could see signs of Titus starting to not care a whole lot about her. I thought the way he reacted at the hospital was very insensitive. Violet was in need of a friend, but he totally acted like she barely mattered. He was just mad that the party was over. It is interesting to see how their relationship is playing out.
