Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.
A Fictional. Possibly with Newsie tendencies... at least along the lines of 'Science Blogging' -- not so much the fieldwork. Considering the situation, I'd suspect a post-Rising me* would have gone into biology or medical research instead of astronomy. Depending on if the NSF's/NASA's budget gets gutted to fund the CDC and the NIH.
Not as bad as I used to be because since I left NY I've found very gentle and sympathetic hypo-wielders.
But blood tests for getting into your own house, blood tests for getting into your own car, and likely your job -- I'd entirely lose my mind. I'd hire a team of Irwins and Newsies to go get the news so I could comment on it.
But I'd end up a germophobe, even though one could not catch cold anymore there's nothing saying you couldn't catch SARS or Bird Flu or Swine Flu and omg what would happen if KA decided it wanted to add those to its mutated little spiral?
I'm surprised no one has started this thread yet!

If I even survived the Rising (and I might not because I'm middle aged, overweight, and do a desk job):
I'd be a Stewart, and believe you me, I'd have been commenting left and right about everything that came out of After The End Times.
What kind of blogger would you be?

* That is, someone who grew up after the Rising.
