“Technological progress has simply given us more efficient means of going backwards” (“Brainy Quotes” 1). While this embodies modern times, it also represents MT Anderson's Feed and Pixar's Wall-E. Feed is a book about a dystopian society influenced by a device, called "feed", implanted in the brains of citizens. The author describes a group of normal teenagers who venture to the moon for a spring holiday full of parties and going out "in bad". The main character, Titus, falls in love with a girl named Violet who is not like the other stereotypical teenagers in this book. Violet was fed when she was much older and homeschooled, so her brain is more developed. Together, they go on outrageous adventures until a hacker in a nightclub causes them to lose power. Unfortunately for Violet, fixing her power supply was virtually impossible; meaning that Violet was slowly dying. Together, Titus and Violet question society, nutrition, and lifestyle as they create their journey in the book Feed. In Pixar's Wall-E, the world has been abandoned by all humanity due to an overly polluted atmosphere. However, one creature still exists on earth, a waste-collecting robot called Wall-E. One day, a futuristic and well-developed robot arrives on earth inspecting the earth for any species of life. Wall-E falls in love with the robot Eve, and when she returns home in her spaceship, he jumps aboard and takes a ride through space. There, Eve and Wall-E work together to save planet Earth in a futuristic love story, Wall-EMT Anderson's Feed and Pixar's Wall-E, exaggerating a society influenced by technology using similar and different plots. The setting, consumerism, and characters share similar qualities in Feed and... middle of paper....... In comparison, Pixar comes up with a more jubilant ending. Humanity has now been brought back to earth and the two robotic companions, Eva and Wall-E, fall in love at the end of the story. In conclusion, the excessive dependence of humans on technology can be evident in both dramatic stories; this is because the authors overemphasize the outlandish but possible outcome due to the excessive use of technology. “It has become frighteningly obvious that our technology has surpassed our humanity” (“Brainy Quotes” 1).
