The Every by Dave Eggers

This book will be released on 16th November. Strangely enough, the Dutch translation is already available. I started reading yesterday. It's a sequel to 'the Circle'.

"From the award-winning, bestselling 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?"

@OldBrit I recommend it! The Circle was one of those kinds of books that stayed in my mind for quite some time.

The library is getting The Circle, on audio for me. I will let you know what stands out about it☺️

"the emoji-driven infantilization of the species" - that alone is worth the price of admission.

After reading the book, I have to say it was ok, but not as good as 'the Circle'.

@Tamara68 I haven't listened to The Every yet, but I might.

There's something similar in my new collection of audio books.

The Circle is written in a very simplistic form, Memorable👍

I am listening to Steven King's Billy Summers, it's good.
