Review of 'The Circle' on 'GoodReads'

2 stars

A blunt and occasionally funny satire about the blackest imaginings of a technologically-controlled world. Egger's writing is often stale and predictable, but the ideas (albeit technically far-fetched) save an often entertaining book. It says nothing profound, but, like Black Mirror positions itself as an anthology of the worst possible outcomes of technological advancement. Some fantastic passages about quantification and freedom make the book worthwhile.
