Titus’s dad is depicted as an emotionally distant, vacuous man—in a way, the kind of adult Titus is in grave danger of becoming. He works in banking, and is usually so immersed in talking via his feed that he can’t be bothered to say anything to his son. Dad takes a condescending view of anyone who dares to criticize corporations, including Violet Durn. As the novel nears its end, it’s revealed that Dad may have been having an affair with a coworker, though nothing comes of this revelation.

"He was in the feature with all the crazy utensils," said my mother. "A few years ago? That one? He was the doorman in the pillbox hat." I had already pulled up a list of his feed-features and I was going over them. None of them got more than two stars.
