The circle - Dave Eggers











I like to think that this book is a commentary, even a satire, but I fear that will be giving it too much attention.

Due to the involved nature of the subject, social media and the extrapolated affects it may have on our society, this book touches on topics that could be considered by anyone today as a possible future. But the sensationalism so far stretched, that this piece of fiction isn't entertaining. The characters are developed but they're exactly what you'd expect and the the storyline goes places you wouldn't expect, I suspect to keep it interesting, and its completely disconnected.

I would not recommend this book to anyone really even though Tom Hanks was cast in the movie, and that's saying a lot.
