Dave Eggers' book, The Circle, now has a movie trailer
Except for the ending, I really enjoyed reading Dave Eggers' The Circle this year. Now, it seems like the book is being made into a movie of epic proportions. And as you've probably learned about society's fears being reflected in films, here is our fear of an omniscient technology company owning our very lives in the near future. Can't wait to see this!
The Circle by Dave Eggers
If you don't want spoilers, don't click inside.
WHY DID THE BOOK END THAT WAY?! I want an alternate ending where everything works out in a positive way! And why was it so rushed?! Overall, still a very good read. But that rating brought down what would otherwise be an 8/10 to a 6/10.
One Book A Month (August): The Circle by Dave Eggers
Just started reading The Circle by Dave Eggers today. I'm not reading it because there's a movie based on the book coming out (although that's cool I guess), I'm reading it because it seems like a modern take on the whole dystopian future where information rules all. In many ways, the description of the book reminds me of my own interactions with Google and Facebook.
Anyway, pretty excited to read some fiction after last month's book. Have you read it? What did you think?
