I hated this book and I should have known that I would because I didn't like [b:The Circle|18302455|The Circle|Dave Eggers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1376419833l/18302455.SX50.jpg|25791820] either, but I thought I just read The Circle with too much sincerity because I didn't realize at the time Dave Eggers was a satirist. Since then, I also tried to read [b:The Captain and the Glory|51792305|The Captain and the Glory|Dave Eggers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1569893153l/51792305.SX50_SY75.jpg|73423793], which I absolutely hated and didn't finish. I still gave this a shot and would probably liked it if it had 1) been shorter or 2) had a more satisfying plot. I'm not sure I disagree with all of the apps Eggers came up with that were supposed to be outlandish, but maybe I'm just proving his point that nothing can surprise us sheep and we're all doomed.
