Abstract
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. (Amazon)
