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.

Asimismo, es cofundador de 826 Valencia, un centro de voluntariado que ayuda a niños y adolescentes con programas extraescolares y clases de escritura. Todo esto hizo que en 2005 la revista Time lo incluyera en su lista de las cien personas más influyentes de Estados Unidos. En 2007 fue galardonado con el premio Heinz, en reconocimiento tanto a sus logros literarios como a su labor humanitaria. En Literatura Random House hemos publicado Ahora sabréis lo que es correr (2004), Guardianes de la intimidad (2005), Qué es el qué (2008, finalista del premio del National Book Critics Circle), Los monstruos (2009), sus memorias Una historia conmovedora, asombrosa y genial (2010), Zeitoun (2010), Un holograma para el rey (2013) y El Círculo (2014), las dos últimas adaptadas a la gran pantalla. ) [position] => 12 [visible] => 1 [variation] => ) ) [] => WC_Product_Attribute Object ( [data:protected] => Array ( [id] => 0 [name] => [options] => Array ( [0] => «Eggers ha puesto su estilo y su pulso narrativo al servicio del tecnothriller: un escritura enérgica y eficaz.» —Time   «Una parábola sobre los peligros de la era digital.
