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. Run out of a sprawling California campus, the Circle links users' personal emails, social media, and finances with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of transparency. 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 ...

Circle Games

Uncompromising view of the dangers of social media. The more we know, the more uncertain we may become. A possible take on Apple's new headquarters, which has a doughnut like shape with all manner of social facilities. A very pertinent read at a time when tweets seem more important than people. An altered reality state. Now a film starring Tom Hanks and Emily Watson.

The Circle

Unexpected. Brilliantly written. I literally couldn’t put it down. Another book club classic. One to read again as so good. Takes you on a journey.

It’s not an audiobook

I bought this from the ‘audiobookstore’. It’s not an audiobook.
