The electrifying follow-up to Dave Eggers' New York Times Bestseller The Circle.

When the world's largest search engine and social media company merges with the planet's dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest, 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 sceptic, 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 infantilisation 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Dave Eggers's The Every presents a chilling vision of a future where digital convenience outweighs personal freedoms, posing vital questions about societal complicity in technological domination. Critics praise its mix of humour, horror, and satire to explore these themes, with the narrative being both eerily prescient and timely. The novel is appreciated for its engaging storytelling and provocative ideas, making it an urgent read for today's digitally-driven world.
