    (UNIVERSITY OF MOHAMED BOUDIAF- M’SILA, 2025-07-10) Ms. ALLAMI Marwa and; Ms. KHALFALLAH Marwa
    Abstract In a world of technological innovations where the boundaries between human and machine are fading bit by bit, literature through its interrogation of the consequences of this technological integration into human life has become a tool of great significance, a route of salvation, and a call for wisdom. This dissertation investigates the loss of individuality and critical thought in a posthuman context as portrayed by M.T. Anderson in his dystopian novel Feed. This research is conducted based on posthumanism theory, mainly drawing on N. Katherine Hayles’s concept of the “posthuman subject”, Rosi Braidotti’s “nomadic subjectivity”, and Shoshana Zuboff’s “surveillance capitalism”; as it analyzes how technological integration, corporate control, and digital consumerism reshape and redefine human identity. In addition, it interrogates the Feed’s transformation of consciousness, language, and autonomy. the analysis reveals that critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and individual agency are systematically diminished. As it links contemporary realities such as algorithmic governance, surveillance capitalism, and educational commodification to the Feed’s society.
