The Cirkle, Dave Eggers

Mae Holland is a young woman a few years out of college who has just landed a job at the Circle, a major tech company voted “most innovative” four years in a row. The company has swallowed up its competitors with the invention of TruYou, a system that funnels a user’s accounts and online activity into one personal, traceable account. The Circle’s founder, Ty Gospodinov, invented the system and joined with two others, Eamon Bailey and Tom Stenton, to establish the company, which now wields an inordinate amount of power across the world.
