The Circle

Writer Dave Eggers is known for his seductive stories of virtuous loners taking on evil systems. The Circle is a high-tech, big-budget version of the wonted Eggers fable. This is a movie very much of our moment, tapping into the things we celebrate - inspiring Ted-esque talks, women in tech, knowledge sharing - as well as the things we fear - corporate overreach, universal surveillance, and the loss of privacy and individual freedom. — Kiran
