Dave Eggers is the author of six previous books, including "Zeitoun," a nonfiction account a Syrian-American immigrant and his extraordinary experience during Hurricane Katrina and "What Is the What," a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award. That book, about Valentino Achak Deng, a survivor of the civil war in southern Sudan, gave birth to the Valentino Achak Deng Foundation, run by Mr. Deng and dedicated to building secondary schools in southern Sudan. Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney's, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco that produces a quarterly journal, a monthly magazine ("The Believer"), and "Wholphin," a quarterly DVD of short films and documentaries. In 2002, with Nínive Calegari he co-founded 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for youth in the Mission District of San Francisco. Local communities have since opened sister 826 centers in Chicago, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Ann Arbor, Seattle, and Boston. In 2004, Eggers taught at the University of California-Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, and there, with Dr. Lola Vollen, he co-founded Voice of Witness, a series of books using oral history to illuminate human rights crises around the world. A native of Chicago, Eggers graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in journalism. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two children.

The Circle is the exhilarating new novel from Dave Eggers, best-selling author of A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award.

When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

全程逻辑混乱(可能作者设定的是全地球人都是傻子),为了讽刺而讽刺,莫名其妙的情感线(霸道总裁爱上玛丽苏的熟悉狗血味)以及简直有恶意卖肉的嫌疑(所以女主疯狂哗——的意义在哪里) 所以我们学校到底是为了什么这本书做阅读材料???这简直不如the giver的一半(大声bb ...

读故事的过程确实会引发思考。从故事一开始就隐隐觉得不对劲儿——我大概也是属于对完全的透明与公开的网络人生不能接受的人吧——越往下看越有一种holy shit的感觉,心想这怎么可能,大家都疯了吗?直到有一天忽然意识到最近自己也是在网上看vlog看得不亦乐乎的呀。于是就一直...

Not fair to compare this book to 1984. It may not be as deep or philosophical, but it's highly entertaining and very easy to read.

评分

近期比较不错的反乌托邦作品。故事结构其实和1984以及其他的反乌托邦很像 但是加入了现代互联网和信息分享 所以显得很真实。结局是和1984一样的 但是显得浅薄了 如果能再深入一点就好了 比如Annie这个角色就不是很深入

评分

这不是《1984》,这是21世纪的《美丽新世界》。"Secrets are lies. Sharing is Caring. Privacy is theft." 书中虚构的企业The Circle倡导的即时互联和完全透明当然是极具吸引力的,但所谓的大数据、云分享等网络技术也在威胁隐私、压榨个性;再美好的企业理念一旦实现信息垄断,也会成为新的专政。最可怕的是,技术满足了我们的偷窥癖和逐渐畸形的社交需求,而且大部分当代人都认同科技的进步性,所以若把这个倾向推到极端,对人性也是毁灭性的。看完小说,我更加觉得民主是相对的,它只是一个可以被不断重新定义的工具,强迫少数服从多数也是盲目的,每个人都应该有弃权或者退出的自由。第二,即时交流催生的网络暴民也不是新鲜事了。我们有自由谴责,但绝没资格审判

评分

赶脚土国人民当中社交媒体恐惧十分普遍,大概是这书在此地简直卖到炸裂的原因吧。

评分

作者的文筆非常棒,故事所講述的關於透明與隱私之間的角力的問題更是引人深思,可以作爲互聯網萬能論者的一劑解藥
