About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The electrifying follow-up to Dave Eggers' New York Times best seller The Circle.
When the world's largest search engine/social media company merges with the planet's dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous - and, oddly enough, most beloved - monopoly ever known: The Every.
Delaney Wells is an unlikely new hire. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within. With her compatriot, the not-at-all-ambitious Wes Kavakian, they look for the company's weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilisation of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free?
Studded with unforgettable characters and lacerating set pieces, The Every blends satire and terror while keeping the listener in breathless suspense about the fate of the company - and the human animal.

Scary premise
Having read THE CIRCLE, which I loved, I pre-ordered THE EVERY. This novel was scary in that the potential it occurring in real life is possible. It was well written and thought provoking. Every good idea had positives but even more negatives. Human nature to exploit, combined with lack of privacy is a disastrous mix. It led to a premise where the very act of thinking became scary. That one thought or innocent look could destroy your life.
This book took longer to read, as it was written in a style that found me having to stop and think more. Some aspects of THE EVERY was not written on an interesting way. The audiobook helped here as the narrator was very engaging. The plot twist at the end is well worth the read.
Dave Eggers states that this book would not be available on AMAZON, however this is not truthful. The ebook is available on AMAZON and the audiobook is available on AUDIBLE, an AMAZON subsidiary. If he really stood by his views about AMAZON they wouldn't be available through here.

The future we deserve
Loved this sequel to The Circle and found it darkly entertaining, if you enjoy laughing about where we’re headed. The Audible performance was great although felt slightly stilted after every ‘She said…’ which hilariously made me think this was edited and narrated by AI. Chase it up with a rewatch of ‘Network’ for an extra kick in the guts.

Scarily believable
Eggers is still a genius writer and story teller. Ostensibly futurist, Eggers pulls at the threads of our current world to take them only a few extra steps to a logical conclusion. Well developed characters, vivid, and perfectly paced.
