Ahora una película principal protagonizada por Emma Watson y Tom Hanks. Una novela distópica más vendida que aborda la vigilancia, la privacidad y las intrusiones intrusivas de la tecnología en nuestras vidas.

Cuando Mae Holland es contratada para trabajar para Circle, la compañía de internet más poderosa del mundo, siente que se le ha dado la oportunidad de su vida. The Circle, sin un campus en expansión de California, vincula los correos electrónicos personales de los usuarios, las redes sociales, la banca y las compras con su sistema operativo universal, lo que resulta en una identidad en línea y una nueva era de cortesía y transparencia. Mientras Mae recorre los espacios de oficinas de planta abierta, las imponentes instalaciones de comedor de vidrio, los acogedores dormitorios para aquellos que pasan las noches en el trabajo, se emociona con la modernidad y la actividad de la compañía. Hay fiestas que duran toda la noche, hay músicos famosos que tocan en el césped, hay actividades deportivas y clubes y almuerzos, e incluso un acuario de peces raros recuperados de la Fosa de las Marianas por el CEO. Mae no puede creer su suerte su gran fortuna de trabajar para la compañía más influyente del mundo, incluso cuando la vida más allá del campus se vuelve distante, incluso cuando un extraño encuentro con un colega la deja conmocionada, incluso cuando su papel en el Círculo se vuelve cada vez más público. Lo que comienza como la cautivadora historia de la ambición y el idealismo de una mujer pronto se convierte en una novela de suspenso conmovedora, que plantea preguntas sobre la memoria, la historia, la privacidad, la democracia y los límites del conocimiento humano.

Now a Major Motion Picture starring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives.

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.
