About this listen

When Mae 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. Mae can't believe her great fortune to work for them - 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...

The high tech future is inevitable. With these advances also come great responsibility. Fascinating story.

The BEST narrator ever!!!

Eerily close to the future

Very good book, good voice. My advice is to listen to it without reading too many reviews, or reading too much about it. read it by going in blind. there's such a thing as knowing too much... or is there, up to you.

Don't know too much

Eggers vividly describes a world not too far from our own where there is no more privacy aka secrets under the guise of solving the world's problems. Very apt in light of recent big tech giant censorship of COVID dissent.

Comfortably horrendous vision of the future

An enjoyable thought experiment on the extent of technology's involvement in our lives. Likeable characters and a setting that's just close enough to reality.

Thought provoking

Reasonably interesting book, a contemporary dystopian exploration of similar themes to those in George Orwell’s 1984.
Narrator did an absolutely terrible Australian accent and it is very clear he’s never heard someone from Melbourne speak. A painful few minutes with that character, but otherwise pretty decent narration. Pacing matched the energy and intent of the source texts
