The Circle, Dave Eggars - like 1984, Big Brother etc,

Anyone else read this? I thought it was great. Very much the surveillance society as it could be very soon - great story.

Yep, thought it was OK other than slightly clumsy writing around the romance sub-story.

Good; but to a sub Brett Easton Ellis / Douglas Coupland level.

Not the next Orwell, for me at least...

[footnote]

True - I don't think it approaches 1984 and the 'romance' element was perhaps too contrived whereas it feels genuine in 1984.

But that aside, as an older/non social media user, I felt it gave me a great insight into the power and use of social media in comtemporary society.
