El Todo / The Every

Dave Eggers

Cuando la empresa de internet del momento, El Circulo, se fusiona con la mayor plataforma comercial online del planeta, da paso al monopolio mas rentable y peligroso hasta la fecha. El Todo es la corporacion de Silicon Valley a la que todos quieren pertenecer, admirada por muchos, pero odiada tambien por algunos escepticos. Entre ellos se encuentra la disidente tecnologica Delaney Wells, que ha decidido postularse para un puesto en la compania con un unico objetivo: destruir la empresa desde dentro, con la esperanza de liberar a la humanidad de la vigilancia total y de su infantilizacion en la era de los emoticonos. Pero ?realmente alguien quiere lo que Delaney esta luchando por salvar? En un mundo donde hay tanto donde escoger y en el que solo queremos certezas, ?no preferimos que alguien tome decisiones por nosotros? ?De verdad queremos ser libres? ?Nos preocupa realmente la deshumanizacion de nuestra sociedad?

En esta apasionante novela, que combina el suspense con la satira y el absurdo con el terror, y que logra mantener en vilo al lector a causa del incierto destino del animal humano, Dave Eggers nos alerta de los monopolios que estan cambiando nuestro comportamiento, nuestros recuerdos y nuestra capacidad para pensar libremente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
