The Every

A novel

De: Dave Eggers

Narrado por: 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.

An Allegory of Hell

CS Lewis envisioned Hell as an ever expanding suburb where people would move further and further into isolation as they were in perpetual conflict with each other. Dave Eggers has given us a virtual experience of Hell in this not-too-distant future of humanity tale.

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.

Don't Understand Why So Many Complaints!

The narrator did a FINE JOB despite the gratuitous use of "He. Said." Once you get past this, it's a fun listen! I found myself looking forward to the declarations of each chapter as proclaimed by this narrator. This could have been an ABSOLUTE nightmare of a listen but this narrator breathed this story to life with a flair of his own. I am happy with this book AND the narrator and believe me when I say I have been spoiled by the master of all narrators: Ray Porter, so this is saying A LOT. I'm now going back to The Circle since it's been awhile and I need to revisit. All in all, both books are delicious little gems that depict the social horrors we're hurtling towards at breakneck speed even now.

Scary because it’s happening

The Every is a wonderful exploration of all things dystopian and near future. The narrator of this novel makes Eggers words ring like a bell.

A better companion to the circle

I liked it more than book one. I’m not sure how to feel about it. I’m hoping there’s a book 3 to wrap it up.

Good Story, Bad Narration

I’m about halfway through and not sure I’ll finish. Not because the story isn’t interesting or thought provoking, it actually is. You can relate the extremes posed in the book to how modern society is evolving. However, the narration is horrible. I literally feel like he’s yelling at me the entire time. Every interaction, even private thoughts, seem to loud and over done. May get the kindle version just so I can finish but can’t recommend the Audible version unfortunately.
