A review by bobmcbobson
The Circle by Dave Eggers

2.0

This book started out OK. I thought it was going to be an interesting take on life at a large high tech company. Instead, it turned out to like an Ayn Rand book for the looney left with a simple-minded philosophy barely disguised in a fairly obvious narrative. Technology is bad, the cloud is bad, social media is bad, big companies are bad. Google (or "The Circle" in this case) will spell the doom of civilization if left unchecked. The book quickly devolved into a fear of big brother tale and I really couldn't wait until it was over.
