The Circle

Om boken

When Mae is hired to work for the Circle, the world's most powerful internet company, she feels she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime. Run out of a sprawling California campus, the Circle links users' personal emails, social media, and finances with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of transparency. Mae can't believe her great fortune to work for them — even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. 'Prepare to be addicted' — Daily Mail 'A gripping and highly unsettling read' — Sunday Times 'The Circle is Brave New World for our brave new world... Fast, witty and troubling' — Washington Post 'An elegantly told, compulsively readable parable for the 21st Century' — Vanity Fair 'Immensely readable and very timely' — Metro 'Prescient, important and enjoyable... a deft modern synthesis of Swiftian wit with Orwellian prognostication' — Guardian
