THE CIRCLE read like a mystery story whose plot was in every page. turns out it wasn’t a mystery so much as a clear indication - like douglas coupland’s PLAYER ONE, and warren ellis & raulo caceres’s DOKTOR SLEEPLESS, and douglas rushkoff’s PRESENT SHOCK - of what is and what i and you as individuals and as a group are willing to accept about life.
it is mostly a parable for how horrible we are, and near-sighted, and disaffected. we think we know what we want even after people die for what we want.
by the end, i hated mae.
great story.
