A review by travfore
The Circle by Dave Eggers

1.0

The premise is great. The way that big tech slowly ingratiates it's way into our lives. Making changes, suggestions, creating technology that simplifies our lives and is often started for great reasons but can readily be used for other malicious means. All of this resonates as does the pernicious pressure to "socialize" our lives, share everything, gain the "liking" of the world. All of that rings true in it's benign creepiness. But somewhere along the line, Eggers just lost me. Badly.

I guess a major part of it was the protagonist kept doing such stupid things, making what felt like barely believable choices that I became more and more frustrated with her, the story and well it just stopped work for me. And by the end I was just pissed off. Maybe I should give it two stars for making me feel something.
