The Circle by Dave Eggers
3.0
Hey there, book lovers! š So, I just finished reading The Circle by Dave Eggers, and I gotta say, it left me with some mixed feelings. Iām giving it a solid 3 stars on Goodreads! āāā
The premise is super intriguingāimagine a tech company thatās like a mash-up of Google, Facebook, and any other major social media platform you can think of. It follows Mae Holland as she dives into this world of transparency and connectivity, and honestly, itās both exciting and kinda terrifying. The way Eggers explores themes of surveillance, privacy, and the impact of social media on our lives is thought-provoking. But at times, I felt like it dragged a bit. Some parts were a little over the top, and I wished for more depth in the characters.
Still, itās a real conversation starter! If youāre into dystopian novels that feel eerily relevant to todayās tech landscape, this oneās for you. Just donāt expect everything to tie up nicely at the end. š
