The Every

A novel

By: Dave Eggers

Narrated by: Dion Graham

From the award-winning, bestselling 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 reader in apprehensive excitement about the fate of the company—and the human animal.

Another Bullseye

I was reluctant to read Egger's second story because so many sequels disappoint. This one doesn't. It really is a continuation of a compelling story masterfully told with humor, suspense, and wisdom. A cautionary tale with more truth than fiction. I am hoping there is a third book in this series and that it will be read by Dion Graham.

Funny, dramatic and thought provoking

Outstanding narration
Best audiobook I have listened to in last year. Worth the time certainly

Great narration and story, just a little predictable.

I love Dave Eggers and this was a good story, but the plot was revealed so early on that I found the entire book lacking suspense. Not that every story should keep you on the edge of your seat, but there were just no blanks for me to fill in with my own imagination.

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.

Another Brilliant Work by Eggers

I loved The Circle when I read it a few years ago and have no idea this book had come out until I saw it in a bookstore. I bought the book to support the local place, but then got the audiobook as well so I could devour the story over a long drive. Ironic to have the book on Amazon… Anyways, loved it!

Compelling and Poignant!

I was pleasantly surprised at this insightful and sometimes frightening peek into this potential future of humanity. The story was very relatable and made some excellent points about our current state. I highly recommend while it's still just fantasy.
