thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last
through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are
athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish
retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her

beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague
leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What
begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon
becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history,
privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.”
