The Circle

“Prophetic” is the most apt and eerie way to describe this book. Eggers creates a futuristic world that revolves around the campus of a company not unlike the Googles and Amazons and Facebooks of our day. ‘The Circle” has essentially monopolized the internet and created a culture best described as a “pics or it didn't happen” culture, calling out the danger of social media compressing our private lives until they cease to exist at all. Well-written and terribly thought-provoking, this book had me hesitating before my social media apps. Definitely worth a read.
