This is a sobering view of what could happen to our world if we continue on the path of constant updating, tracking and viewing of each other. 
 I wanted to like this book more but I just didn't. The main character Mae was just too much of a sucker for me. It's like she started drinking the kool aid and never stopped. I kept thinking she would at some point come to her senses and see what Mercer or her parents or others started to see but she never did and it really started to bug me. She just wanted to be seen and heard but she wasn't really her own person. She had ideas but never anything that deviated from the main goal of the Circle. It was frustrating. She was such a willing pawn for the Circle's goal to completion. The book was engaging and kept me wanting to know more but in the end I was unsatisfied.
