Reviews
"Hilarious and horrifying and idealistic. An unusual combination in a novel, or in anything else, really, but here the necessary result of a powerful writer taking on much of what matters most to our future." --Mohsin Hamid, author of Exit West " The Every follows through not only on the world Dave Eggers created in The Circle , but on the absurd and alarming world we've created for ourselves. With oracular precision, he takes us on a journey equal parts terrifying and human and hilarious. This is Eggers at the top of his game." --Rebecca Makkai, Pulitzer finalist for The Great Believers "Unforgettable. With brilliant humor and enormous suspense, The Every examines how technology is indelibly redefining what it means to be human, and how it already has." --Van Jones, CNN Host & author of Beyond the Messy Truth "At once sharply satirical and big-hearted, darkly comic and profoundly serious, The Every is a novel for our time." --Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker staff writer and author of Under a White Sky "Eggers proposes an uncanny world, on the border between the impossible-to-imagine and the already-in-play. Every reader is implicated. We are all members of that passive army willing to trade freedom for convenience. As digital culture blossomed, people wondered if machines could be made to think like people. The more compelling question is the one Eggers poses in The Every : Are people content to become machines?" --Sherry Turkle, author of The Empathy Diaries "Many will say The Every offers a prophecy of tech-abetted dystopia, but that's both too dour and too hopeful a way to describe Dave Eggers's remarkable sequel to The Circle . Too dour because you'll be hard pressed to find a more hysterical account of digital madness. Yet too hopeful because the true horror here is how closely Eggers hews to our daily reality of tech-dependence, and how often The Every feels more like documentary than dystopia -- a hilarious, harrowing look not at a disturbing future but an inescapable present."-- Farhad Manjoo, New York Times columnist and author of True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society, "(A) great-grandchild of Zamyatin's We , but now the 'perfect society' is Silicon Valley. Be careful what you wish for!" --Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "Hilarious and horrifying and idealistic. An unusual combination in a novel, or in anything else, really, but here the necessary result of a powerful writer taking on much of what matters most to our future." --Mohsin Hamid, author of Exit West " The novel follows two employees of The Every who try to dismantle the company from the inside. In order to do some of his own dismantling, Eggers has MacGyvered a unique distribution strategy so that pub-date hardcover copies of his book will be exclusively available through independent booksellers." -- The Millions "Eggers takes his probing social criticism-via-the-novel approach to the all pervasive world of social media, as we follow the deeply tech-averse Delaney Wells' attempt to take down the eponymous surveillance corporation from within. Extra plaudits to Eggers for making the difficult IRL decision to not sell his new book in hardcover on Amazon (it will be available only at independent bookstores)." -- Lit Hub " The Every follows through not only on the world Dave Eggers created in The Circle , but on the absurd and alarming world we've created for ourselves. With oracular precision, he takes us on a journey equal parts terrifying and human and hilarious. This is Eggers at the top of his game." --Rebecca Makkai, Pulitzer Prize finalist for The Great Believers "Unforgettable. With brilliant humor and enormous suspense, The Every examines how technology is indelibly redefining what it means to be human, and how it already has." --Van Jones, CNN contributor and author of Beyond the Messy Truth "I don't know what's more frightening: Dave Eggers's relentlessly inventive worldbuilding of a pseudo-virtuous surveillance economy run monopolistically amok, or that his near-future dystopian satire may be a more naturalistic rendering of our present than we'd like to admit. Novels like The Every --equal parts comic entertainment and ominous explication--are one of our best means of resisting the dehumanizing seductions all around us and imagining a better world." --Teddy Wayne, author of Apartment "At once sharply satirical and big-hearted, darkly comic and profoundly serious, The Every is a novel for our time." --Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker staff writer and author of Under a White Sky "Eggers proposes an uncanny world, on the border between the impossible-to-imagine and the already-in-play.

Synopsis
From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Circle comes an exciting new follow-up. When the world's largest search engine/social media company, the Circle, merges with the planet's dominant ecommerce 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 at the Every. 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 Makazian, they look for the Every's weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilization of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free? Studded with unforgettable characters, outrageous outfits, and lacerating set-pieces, this companion to The Circle blends absurdity and terror, satire and suspense, while keeping the reader in apprehensive excitement about the fate of the company--and the human animal., From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Circle comes an exciting new follow-up.
