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.
