Note(s) : "The Circle is the exhilarating new novel from Dave Eggers, best-selling author of
A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award. When Mae Holland
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. The Circle, run out of a sprawling
California campus, links users' personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing
with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new
age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering
glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is
thrilled with the company's modernity and activity. There are parties that last through
the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities
and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas
Trench by the CEO. Mae can't believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most
influential company in the world--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. What begins as the captivating story of one woman's
ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions
about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge"
