Description: El libro en el que se basa la pelicula The circle, protagonizada por Emma Watson y Tom Hanks.Una novela siniestramente verosimil sobre los peligros de la era digital.A pesar de su entusiasmo por trabajar en el Circulo, Mae pronto descubrira que su vida fuera de la compania comienza a pasar a un segundo plano...Lo que empieza como la fascinante historia de ambicion e idealismo se convierte en una trepidante novela de suspense que plantea cuestiones como la memoria, el pasado, la privacidad, la democracia y los limites del conocimiento humano. El dia que Mae Holland es contratada para trabajar en el Circulo, la empresa de internet mas influyente del mundo, sabe que se le ha concedido la oportunidad de su vida. A traves de un innovador sistema operativo, el Circulo unifica direcciones de email, perfiles de redes sociales, operaciones bancarias y contrasenas de usuarios dando lugar a una unica identidad virtual y veraz, en pos de una nueva era de civilidad y transparencia. Mae esta entusiasmada con la modernidad y la actividad de la compania. Cada dia se celebran fiestas, conciertos al aire libre y actividades deportivas. Hay clubs de todo tipo, e incluso puede visitarse un exclusivo acuario de peces exoticos. Mae se siente afortunada de formar parte del centro del mundo, a pesar de que se aleje cada vez mas de su vida fuera del campus y de que su rol dentro del Circulo acabe siendo de dominio publico. La critica ha opinado: "Eggers nos demuestra con El Circulo cual es el impacto de la era digital en la sociedad de forma exquisitamente astuta, introspectiva y profunda." - The Guardian "Una parabola sobre los peligros de la era digital. Eggers nos recuerda como la utopia digital puede conducir a la ''dataficacion'' de nuestra vida diaria, como la creencia en la sabiduria de la mayoria puede hundirnos en el decreto de las masas, como abrazar la idea de comunidad puede llevarnos a la anulacion del individuo." - The New York Times "El Circulo es una habil y moderna sintesis de ingenio swiftiano y pronosticacion orwelliana [#], un trabajo tan relacionado con nuestro tiempo que podria ser considerado la observacion satirica mas acertada del principio de la era de internet." - The Guardian "Fascinante [#] Eggers consigue que nos suba la adrenalina [#]. Una novela de ideas [#]. Puro entretenimiento, pero del estimulante." - Margaret Atwood, The New York Review of Books "La mayoria nos imaginamos el totalitarismo como algo que se impone, pero y si fueramos los complices en nuestra propia opresion? Este es el escenario de la ambiciosa, aterrorizante y siniestramente verosimil nueva novela de Eggers [#]. Las comparaciones con Un mundo feliz y 1984 seran inevitables." - Booklist "Eggers ha puesto su estilo y su pulso narrativo al servicio del tecnothriller: un escritura energica y eficaz." - Time ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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.
