The Circle

by Dave Eggers

Your tools have elevated gossip, hearsay and conjecture to the level of valid, mainstream communication.

“You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.”

Under the guise of having every voice heard, you create mob rule, a filterless society where secrets are crimes.
