THE EVERY - DAVE EGGERS KARTONIERT (TB)

The electrifying follow-up to Dave Eggers' New York Times Bestseller The Circle'Gulpable
fictive entertainment . . . Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision'
ObserverWhen 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 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 and lacerating set-pieces  The Every blends satire and terror  while keeping the
reader in breathless suspense about the fate of the company - and the human animal. 'More
playful and satirical than Orwell . . . it scores as a series of brilliant set pieces and a
devastating overall critique.' Sunday Times'Part of the genius of this remarkable piece of
satire  riven as it is with horribly plausible ideas and horribly good jokes. . . . What Eggers
does so well is make The Every alluring as well as alarming...' The Times'You read it and
think: yes  this is set in the future but it is actually going on here and now. It is an urgent
and necessary book. It's also fun. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar' The
ScotsmanThe Circle was a New York Times bestseller in 2013
