From the award-winning, best-selling author of The Circle comes an exciting new follow-up. When the world’s largest search engine/social media company, the Circle, merges with the planet’s dominant ecommerce 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 at the Every. 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 Makazian, they look for the Every'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, outrageous outfits, and lacerating set-pieces, this companion to The Circle blends absurdity and terror, satire and suspense, while keeping the listener in apprehensive excitement about the fate of the company - and the human animal.

Critic reviews
"Once a decade a book like The Every advances the frontier of literary excellence: a book that reflects our culture. Predicts our future. Worm-holes into our subconscious. Delivers artful and complex characters, metaphor, ideas, narrative. Provides percussive movements of levity, gravity, grace, suspense, hilarity.” (Kerri Arsenault, The Boston Globe)
“(A) great-grandchild of Zamyatin’s We, but now the 'perfect society' is Silicon Valley. Be careful what you wish for!” (Margaret Atwood, via Twitter)
“Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision. His down-home decency means he pulls short of articulating a thought that recurred for me throughout reading The Every: threatened with spiritual extinction through conformism, sanitization, shame, inanity and surveillance, it might yet be our evil, our perversity, our psychopathology, our hate that prove the saving of us.” (Rob Doyle, The Guardian)

Best audiobook I have listened to in last year. Worth the time certainly
Funny, dramatic and thought provoking

As a critical essay on modern sociology and the privacies we all forego, it hits the mark as per usual with Eggers. The sabotage plot just seemed a little “same old” after having read The Circle prior to this.
Great work of literature, just not as complex as I would’ve hoped for.
Great narration and story, just a little predictable.

The soulless, loveless, and flat life in the technocracy of The Every gives us every reason to take pause at the ways technology is becoming central to how humans interact, influence, and control each other. If this is our future, get me the hell out!
This wasn't a book to enjoy. It was an alarm. We're less than a step away from the beginning of the reality described here.

I liked the narrator OK but I did find his loooong pauses after quotes ("I do," PAUSE she said ...) to be irritating. Once you notice it, you can't unhear it.
