Told with Eggers’s customary wit and caustic observation, The Circle revolves around an omniscient internet organisation and the employee who finds herself enmeshed in a world of corruption, duplicity and dangerous global power games.
Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks, Emma Watson and John Boyega.

An elegantly told, compulsively readable parable for the 21st Century * Vanity Fair *
A gripping and highly unsettling read * Sunday Times *
Unputdownable * Times *
Eggers's writing is so fluent, his ventriloquism of tech-world dialect so light, his denouement so enjoyably inevitable * Observer *

Compelling and deeply contemporary * L.A Times *
Eggers brilliantly depicts the Internet binges, torrents of information and endless loops of feedback that increasingly characterize modern life * Booklist *
