The Circle

In this episode, Hannah watches the movie and Justin reads the book as they dive into Dave Eggers’ dystopian novel The Circle. Together, they explore the unsettling overlap between private tech giants and government, why social media often equates to empty calorie junk food, and how the film adaptation missed the mark on almost every level. Lastly, they breakdown the very strong parallels to "1984", including the Circle mottos of Sharing is Caring, Privacy is Theft, and Secrets are Lies.
