Dave Eggers' new novel is the sequel to his bestselling novel "Sphere", which paints a picture of a completely transparent world of the future, which in the name of the unimpeded exchange of information has given up the right to secrecy. A few years have passed, "Sphere", merged with a famous giant of electronic commerce, became known as "Together" and turned into the world's richest, most dangerous and most powerful monopoly, and it is headed by none other than the heroine of "Sphere" May Holland. Afraid that control systems, presented as necessary elements of a stable and safe world - but in fact provoking endless neurosis and depriving people of the ability to make decisions on their own - will finally destroy free will, Delaney Wells decides to infiltrate the corporation and destroy it from within. Infiltrating the heart of the company, she begins to propose one creepy idea after another in the hope that sooner or later society will rise up against the "digital concentration camp". Surveillance of everyone for everyone else, complete dependence of people on the most absurd rules that the corporation establishes, universal censorship and self-censorship, seizure of unwanted books - this new world five years ago might have seemed like a literary dystopia, but now we live in it. And in this marvelous new world, most are content and happy. Dave Eggers has written a new version of Orwell's 1984, in which humanity finds happiness based on totalitarianism crossed with digital technology.
