The Circle by Dave Eggers


Title: The Circle
Author: Dave Eggers
Genre: Fiction, Technological Dystopian

The Circle by Dave Eggers is the tale of social media at its most heinous. Imagine your favorite social media platform magnified; it keeps an eye on you at all times, watches your every move, and somehow is still fully endorsed by most of the public. Main character Mae takes a job at The Circle and is quickly swept up in the social media tornado. The Circle is a novel that really makes you think about how entwined social media is in your life, and at what point does it become too involved. Fans of dystopian fiction and technology would enjoy this  look at what could happen if too much privacy is willingly given away.
