In fact, the book The Circle , by Dave Eggers, is also about the concern that Morozov expresses between the lines. In the story, the 24-year-old woman Mae Holland comes to work at the technology company The Circle. The novel is set in the (very) near future, in which the company has a near-monopoly on all internet activity (including payment transactions and all possible social media) and is rapidly launching new hardware and software on the market. Of course, The Circle has detailed profiles of all its billions of users.
