Overview
Cuando la empresa de internet del momento, El Círculo, se fusiona con la mayor plataforma comercial online del planeta, da paso al monopolio más rentable y peligroso hasta la fecha. El Todo es la corporación de Silicon Valley a la que todos quieren pertenecer, admirada por muchos, pero odiada también por algunos escépticos. Entre ellos se encuentra la disidente tecnológica Delaney Wells, que ha decidido postularse para un puesto en la compañía con un único objetivo: destruir la empresa desde dentro, con la esperanza de liberar a la humanidad de la vigilancia total y de su infantilización en la era de los emoticonos. Pero ¿realmente alguien quiere lo que Delaney está 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 deshumanización de nuestra sociedad?
En esta apasionante novela, que combina el suspense con la sátira 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 están cambiando nuestro comportamiento, nuestros recuerdos y nuestra capacidad para pensar libremente.
