The Every
by Dave Eggers· 2021
The sequel to The Circle sees a union of the world's biggest search engine with the world's biggest social media company, as a renegade tech skeptic attempts to bring down the monopoly from within. When the world's largest search engine / social media company merges with the planet's dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous—and, oddly enough, most beloved—monopoly ever known: The Every.
Delaney Wells is an unlikely new hire. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within. With her compatriot, the not-at-all-ambitious Wes Kavakian, they look for the company's weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilization of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free?
The Every blends satire and terror, exploring the fate of the company and the human animal.
