The Circle By Dave Eggers

“The Circle”, Dave Eggers. The story mostly tells the reader about the inventing of technologies, whether it is beneficial or disadvantage. The novel gives a lot details that similar to the new ideas of technologies that presented in this world, which forced people to do more activity online rather than face to face in present. Because human can’t handle everything, the Circle created difference tools to help them memorizing. “I want to be seen. I want proof I existed… Most people do. Most people would trade everything they know, everyone they know – they’d trade it all to know they’ve been seen, and acknowledged, that might even be remembered. We all know the world is too big for us to be significant. So all we have is the hope of being seen,

For instance, the Circle takes action by going transparent. Go transparent is to go capture the scene of daily, an open window into life, showing viewers and go live broadcast. (Eggers 312). Mae transparency make Annie couldn’t talk to her personally. She feel a lot painful. Annie’s was being broadcasted to the whole world (355-358). According the Bailey’s, one of the three wise men, “We will become all-seeing, all-knowing.” (p. 71). Also, Bailey says that “Everyone should have the right to know everything, though I certainly wish there was.” (Eggers 288). This passage demonstrate that the Circle doesn’t think that privacy matters at all. He thinks that everything anyone does should be posted online for everyone to see. Moreover, Mae’s believe that “PRIVACY IS THEFT.” Not to mention, the Circle introduces a new tool called PastPerfect, which uses to find out about someone and their past using investigation cameras, photos and videos. Annie finds out a lot of things through PastPerfect. She finds out that her family owned/trade slaves in the past (p. 432). “Annie, give yourself a break. Something that happened six hundred years ago has nothing to do with you.” Mae says. (p. 432). So, this claim is relative to the ideas that presented in this world. People were used too much social Medias and posted a lot of strange thing, but at the end, they ended up with regretful where their information already shared to millions

“I can’t see you anymore” (369). Mercer doesn’t want to meet her anymore because he dislikes the idea of live broadcast, where needs to be capture everything and how to unknown people. In fact, Mae has to wear a camera around her neck all the time. (Eggers 309). Mae is depending on “transparent” and she is no longer live without it. “You no longer pick up on basic human communication clues. You’re at a table with three humans, all of whom are looking at you…” (Mercer, p. 262) This passage demonstrate that Mae’s is no longer communication fact-fact whereas she needs technology on her hands all the time to help her. Mercer was not happy about it. He doesn’t like the idea of the Circle work environment. He shut down all SeeChange cameras that Mae has installed because those system will effect not just him but Mae parents. Also, Mae’s projected SoulSearch tool used to research Mercer information. She uses the drones and it follows Mercer, and letting people see him. They mock him, laugh at him and forced him to be friends with them. (p. 459-465). Unfortunately, while Mae talks to Mercer through one of the drones, other folks being to talk to Mercer from side to side the drones and in a short time determination approaches over Mercer’s face and some he drives himself nonstop off the bridge. As a result, from above reason, I believes that Mercer suicided because he got no choice, whether he live or die, it likes the same choice to him. His
