The Circle is the exhilarating new novel from Dave Eggers, best-selling author of A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award.

When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

讀故事的過程確實會引發思考。從故事一開始就隱隱覺得不對勁兒——我大概也是屬於對完全的透明與公開的網絡人生不能接受的人吧——越往下看越有一種holy shit的感覺,心想這怎麼可能,大傢都瘋瞭嗎?直到有一天忽然意識到最近自己也是在網上看vlog看得不亦樂乎的呀。於是就一直...

全程邏輯混亂(可能作者設定的是全地球人都是傻子),為瞭諷刺而諷刺,莫名其妙的情感綫(霸道總裁愛上瑪麗蘇的熟悉狗血味)以及簡直有惡意賣肉的嫌疑(所以女主瘋狂嘩——的意義在哪裏) 所以我們學校到底是為瞭什麼這本書做閱讀材料???這簡直不如the giver的一半(大聲bb ...

用戶評價

评分

有些尷尬的一本書,算不上科幻,也不夠嚴肅。設想的情形基本屬於最沒有驚喜的那一類,人物也都比較呈式化。1984的路子寫的言情小說。

评分

Mae is a bitch.

评分

A compelling thriller but paradoxical. Not even a tiniest bit of humanity and sense could be found in Mae eventually. The warmhearted recognition from the brainless mob and the evil nature of human being combined could counteract the feeling of embarrassment and cut blood ties? What a thoroughly brainwashed role model in the Brave New World!

评分

近期比較不錯的反烏托邦作品。故事結構其實和1984以及其他的反烏托邦很像 但是加入瞭現代互聯網和信息分享 所以顯得很真實。結局是和1984一樣的 但是顯得淺薄瞭 如果能再深入一點就好瞭 比如Annie這個角色就不是很深入
