Now a major motion picture starring Emma Watson & Tom Hanks.
It's set within a large tech company, akin to Google or Facebook, called The Circle, so instead of a government watching everyone, it’s a company. The company promotes all sorts of Orwellian ideas like “privacy is theft” and “secrets are lies”. It reads very much like 1984 meets The Social Network, or like something out of Black Mirror. A very unique mix of dark satire and techno-thriller, much like 1984 it contains a very powerful message about the danger inherent in these massive and still-growing information-based companies, and how we allow them, without much thought, into so much of our lives
