Nick Clark Windo studied English literature at Cambridge and acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and he now works as a film producer and communications coach. The Feed, his first thriller, was inspired by his realization that people are becoming increasingly disconnected from one another, as well as by philosophical questions about identity and memory. He lives in London with his wife and daughter.
"A chilling, dystopian page-turner--I was hooked from the very
beginning and haunted for days after finishing it." -- S.J. Watson,
bestselling author of Before I Go to Sleep"Evocative of Black
Mirror, The Feed is a visceral warning about our addiction to
technology and shortening attention spans in the form of an
optimistic, engaging human perseverance tale." -- Tal M. Klein,
author of The Punch Escrow"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, author of The Chalk Man"This thought-provoking debut shines
a speculative light on the subjects of connection, disconnection,
and identity in a not-so-distant digital age. The fast pace and
absorbing plot will keep readers racing to the end."
-- Library Journal (starred review)"Nick Clark Windo's debut,
quickly establishes this is not your typical post-apocalyptic
scenario [...] Though there are clear similarities to "The Walking
Dead" and "The Circle," the book offers fresh, smart commentary
about digital dependence and its potential effect on our minds and
relationships." -- Washington Post (Best Science Fiction and
Fantasy -- March 2018)"Think The Road intricately wrapped around
Station Eleven with a dash of Oryx and Crake...Windo pushes all the
right buttons in this post-apocalyptic mashup." -- Kirkus
Reviews"Imagine a mash-up of "Black Mirror" episodes in
post-apocalyptic Britain." -- Washington Post"A startling and
timely debut which presents a world as unique and vividly imagined
as Station Eleven and The Girl With All the Gifts." -- Fantastic
Faction"Easily one of the most powerful and disturbing novels of
the year, a dystopian mash-up of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and
Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers (sans alien pods) with a heavy nod
towards John Wyndham, Nigel Kneale, Philip K Dick and Orwell's
1984." -- Starburst Magazine"[A] brilliant, highly charged debut."
-- Daily Mail (UK)"A compelling story of people rediscovering what
it means to be human in a world abruptly unplugged." -- Christopher
Brown, author of Tropic of Kansas"Warning: THE FEED is ludicrously
addictive...I devoured this story barely putting it down. Great
concept, great execution, plenty of book trauma with a huge
emotional rush of an ending. Left me vaguely tearful. Highly
Recommended." -- Liz Loves Books"THE FEED examines our addiction to
technology through the lens of a bleak dystopia, reminiscent of The
Road. A deft and extremely clever work of sci-fi that kept me
completely immersed in the world Windo created." -- Joe Hart, WSJ
bestselling author of The Last Girl "Surprising and ambitious, The
Feed takes connectivity to a terrifying extreme--and then rips it
away. Technology-addled survivors are forced to relearn how to live
in a world in which nothing is safe, not even sleep. Fascinating."
-- Alexandra Oliva, author of The Last One"I really enjoyed it and
what a great ending!" -- Martina Cole, author of the Sunday Times
bestselling DCI Kate Burrows series"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
it's almost unbearable. The Feed is one of those rare novels that
changes your mind as you read it." -- Helen Dunmore, author of The
Siege"A tense thriller with a strong vein of the speculative. And
that ending . . . blimey!" -- Den Patrick, author of The Boy With
the Porcelain Blade"Nick Clark Windo's captivating debut is a dark,
thought-provoking read. Tap into The Feed and it will change your
world." -- Adam Hamdy, author of Pendulum
