 May Holland and Annie have been loyal friends since they were roommates at university. With Annie's help, May switches jobs from a utility company with a hostile supervisor to the Circle, the most inferential company in the world. The Circle's business is like Yahoo's or Google's. The company is created by three wise men. The company offers services such as social media, up-to-date information search engines and other business activities. Making the government or society more accountable is also their mission. May starts at the customer experience department and rises in the ranks quite fast. In fact, she needs the generous fringe benefits offered to her and her parents. In the book, she has had a romance with two men. Francis and Colton. The more she is involved in the company's strategies to make everything transparent, the more risks she is creating for herself. While she is becoming world famous, she also suffers great losses. Dave Eggers was born on March 12, 1970, in Massachusetts, America. He and his family spent some years in Chicago. He intended to pursue a degree in journalism, but his studies came to a halt because his parents died of cancer prematurely. Aged only 21, Dave had to take full responsibility to take care of his younger brother, Christopher. He moved to California and started to write when he took over a local free newspaper called Cups. His first book was called A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, which told his struggle to raise his younger brother, and the book was the finalist for the Blizzard Prize, which is an award for achievements in newspaper and literature. He has written various other works, such as his 2006 novel, What is the What?, the autobiography of Valentino Achaque Deng. This was the finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. This book has been selected in mandatory read by several American universities. In 2013, he published The Circle, a story about May, a young lady who's also a fresh university graduate working for a San Francisco-based IT company. The Guardian, the British newspaper, comments that The Circle is a prescient, important, and enjoyable book, telling us so much about the impacts of the computer age on human beings.
