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'
Observer   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 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 Scotsman    The Circle was a New York Times bestseller in 2013
