It’s Facebook, Bank of America, TikTok and an Orwellian internet surveillance state all rolled into one!

Mae is a tech-hire hopeful given the chance to work for the company, and dives down a dark path the become one of its best and brightest employees. Reading The Circle is like setting the machine to “brainwash” at the laundromat, and watching the morals in Mae’s mind slowly bleed out like dark red clothes mixed with whites.
