ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Circle," by Dave Eggers, is a cautionary tale set in a near-future where a powerful tech company, the Circle, seeks to connect all people and information. The story follows Mae, a young woman who joins the Circle and becomes increasingly immersed in its culture of total transparency and connectivity. As Mae rises within the company, she embraces its vision, even as concerns arise about the erosion of privacy, individual rights, and the potential for a totalitarian society. The novel explores themes of technology, surveillance, and the impact of social media on human interaction, raising questions about the balance between connection and freedom.
