Description
A dystopian novel that explores the consequences of a powerful internet company's all-pervasive surveillance and control. The Circle, run from a sprawling California campus, links users' personal data with their online identity, promising a new age of transparency and civility. The company's modern facilities and activities seem to offer an ideal lifestyle, but as one employee becomes increasingly entangled in the company's workings, she begins to question its true intentions. As the story unfolds, it raises important questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and human knowledge, culminating in a heart-racing novel of suspense.
