Setting in Feed
Value
Outward appearances and visual attractiveness, personality traits like kindness are given no thought during the creation of a child.
They don't value brains due to the fact that everything is accessible by the feed, intelligence is no longer an attractive feature.
Metaphors and art have lost their value. People like Titus cannot find meaning or depth in the painting with the boat. Art and expression has lost its meaning.
People no longer value the natural environment, they do not care if the earth is dying. People like Violet and her father seem to be only ones that are worried about the planet's destruction.
Citizens do not actively care about the political climate. Titus is not even aware that the USA functions as a republic instead of a democracy.
School (TM)
School is trademarked as corporations are taking over school, and education. The new generation is being educated by big corporations who push there own agenda onto them. The students learn to manage their feeds and buy things, rather than more diverse and philosophical subjects like arts, and science. They are raising a generation of active consumers.
No longer learning about history, maths, english, etc, all subjects the need some sort of thinking and/or memorization.
In our society, compulsory education is utilized so that we can have independent people. In the Feed, it causes the people to become more reliant on products and large companies.
Time
-
It's set in the weird transitional time where not everyone has the feed this allows for Violet to have deep discussions
Societal Construct
It's a very consumer driven society.
People with more money are considered better and actually receive help if their feed malfunctions. Violet doesn't have that much freedom with money which is one of the reasons why she does not get help.
The spatial layout of their society is vertical, meaning the more privileged people live near closer to the sky, and the less rich and privileged live on the bottom, near the earth. (guess you could call them down to earth people haha) People like Link and Marty are less aware of people less privileged than them and people like Violet are very aware and realise how blind and corrupted people are becoming.
Place
U S A
USA is known to be a very capitalist country. They are big on consumerism and advertisements especially with their big companies and corporations e.g McDonald's
Their political state is pretty intense, even in the novel, there are mentions of the slightly hostile relations between America and Russia.
