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.

戴夫·埃格斯(Dave Eggers)的新小说是反映当今时代的一则寓言?对硅谷及其侵犯隐私的科技公司的一记透彻羞辱? 还是说他失诸正鹄,炮制出一部假模假样的乏味小说,既无法为书中角色注入人性,也未能把握其主题? 埃格斯备受期待的小说《圆圈》(The Circle)本周二开始发售,书评...

读故事的过程确实会引发思考。从故事一开始就隐隐觉得不对劲儿——我大概也是属于对完全的透明与公开的网络人生不能接受的人吧——越往下看越有一种holy shit的感觉,心想这怎么可能,大家都疯了吗?直到有一天忽然意识到最近自己也是在网上看vlog看得不亦乐乎的呀。于是就一直...

全程逻辑混乱(可能作者设定的是全地球人都是傻子),为了讽刺而讽刺,莫名其妙的情感线(霸道总裁爱上玛丽苏的熟悉狗血味)以及简直有恶意卖肉的嫌疑(所以女主疯狂哗——的意义在哪里) 所以我们学校到底是为了什么这本书做阅读材料???这简直不如the giver的一半(大声bb ...

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

评分

Not fair to compare this book to 1984. It may not be as deep or philosophical, but it's highly entertaining and very easy to read.

评分

作者的文筆非常棒,故事所講述的關於透明與隱私之間的角力的問題更是引人深思,可以作爲互聯網萬能論者的一劑解藥

评分

Nice thought experiment. Like how it puts it as the "social construction and deconstruction of privacy." So much we take for granted now, as neutral, as natural, are heavily socially constructed.

评分

社交網絡版的1984. 牽強,但這個擔心也不是沒有根據。
