Imagine a world where every aspect of life is monitored, monetized, and controlled by a single, all-powerful tech company. That's the reality Delaney faces in "The Every" by Dave Eggers. When Delaney, a privacy activist, gets a job at The Every, she plans to take down the company from the inside. But as she's drawn deeper into the company's tangled web of algorithms and intrusion, she must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her own freedom and that of the world around her. In this chilling near-future thriller, Eggers explores the dangers of surveillance capitalism and the high cost of convenience.
