by Dave Eggers
2013
The Circle is the exhilarating novel from Dave Eggers, best-selling author of A Hologram for the King which was a finalist for the National Book Award.
Mae Holland can't believe her luck when she gets to work for the Circle, the most influential, futuristic company in the world. The Circle, run on a sprawling California campus, links users' personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. What begins as the captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.
Anyone who enjoyed Brave New World by Alduous Huxley or 1984 by George Orwell will enjoy this book.
