À propos de cet audio

From the award-winning, best-selling author of The Circle comes an exciting new follow-up. When the world’s largest search engine/social media company, the Circle, merges with the planet’s dominant ecommerce 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 at the Every. 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 Makazian, they look for the Every'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?

Studded with unforgettable characters, outrageous outfits, and lacerating set-pieces, this companion to The Circle blends absurdity and terror, satire and suspense, while keeping the listener in apprehensive excitement about the fate of the company - and the human animal.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Once a decade a book like The Every advances the frontier of literary excellence: a book that reflects our culture. Predicts our future. Worm-holes into our subconscious. Delivers artful and complex characters, metaphor, ideas, narrative. Provides percussive movements of levity, gravity, grace, suspense, hilarity.” (Kerri Arsenault, The Boston Globe)

“(A) great-grandchild of Zamyatin’s We, but now the 'perfect society' is Silicon Valley. Be careful what you wish for!” (Margaret Atwood, via Twitter)

“Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision. His down-home decency means he pulls short of articulating a thought that recurred for me throughout reading The Every: threatened with spiritual extinction through conformism, sanitization, shame, inanity and surveillance, it might yet be our evil, our perversity, our psychopathology, our hate that prove the saving of us.” (Rob Doyle, The Guardian)

I got very tired of the voice actor saying “he said” or “Delaney said” He needs to use more character inflection during the dialogue and give more credit to the listener gets it.

Tired of hearing “he said”

I love these books. Dave Eggers does an amazing job of outlining a totally believable dystopian world.
I especially enjoyed the focus on how regular people become indoctrinated into the ideology. How good people turn and start actively helping their tyrants.

I'll be recommending it to everyone.

I enjoyed this more than the first book the circle. Loved the concept and performance was stellar. Book at times became tedious and tiresome but that might have been the point lol. Not a improbable future for us all 😬

Sequel better than the first!

I couldn’t stand the narrator constantly saying “he said” or “she said.” Not another word besides “said?” Book is way too slow.
