The Circle. Dave Eggers
The Circle. Dave Eggers. 2013. This book is part of a small but growing stream of writings about how AI /computer technology could evolve. Eggers envisions a creeping malevolence about what could happen if something like FANG ( Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google ) moved to become one incredibly huge wealthy company that would slowly take over pretty well everything so that no one person or action was anonymous. A good writer, the author does draw you in and strikes the right balance between today and what could happen. I appreciate that all the “innovations” mentioned started with the best of intentions, which through being monetized and proselytized could become The Circle. Good read for a cross country flight.
