tupton 's review for:

The Circle by Dave Eggers
4.0

Better-written and more engaging than A Hologram for the King; I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The premise and the events in the latter third of the book are questionable and strange, but maybe that's just because Eggers takes us from a familiar world inundated with technology to a weird dystopia without a discernible leap. It's not that it's far-fetched that someone could have and try to implement these ideas, but someone or something more shadowy would pay big money to stop them upon conception. There are a few great thought experiments here, too. Recommended.
