We Like You so Much and Want to Know You Better
Summary
A million people, a billion, wanted to be where Mae was at this moment, entering this atrium, 30 feet high and shot through with California light, on her first day working for the only company that really mattered at all.
A story from The New York Times Magazine, adapted from The Circle, a new novel by Dave Eggers.

Editor reviews
With multiple awards under his belt, including an AudioFile Magazine Golden Voice and Booklist's "Voice of Choice", narrator Dion Graham does not disappoint with his effortless performance of this story from the New York Times Magazine, adapted from Dave Eggers' novel The Circle. Mae has an enviable job at a social networking company, and slowly, she becomes seduced by a culture of constant updates and a seemingly unlimited chain of social connections. Graham fully engages listeners' attention with his attention to realism, and he works in subtle nuances of menace as Mae discovers the dark side of always being connected.

Fantastic storytelling
Great short story with good characters. The tension builds s!owly and the author managed to create an impartial end without being overly dramatic. Reminiscent of Truman Capote's short stories in allowing characters to tell the story over action.

1984 type short for the age of social media
An enjoyable short story about where social media is taking us.
The narration was pretty good, and I enjoyed the way the characters were brought across.
I will be looking into listening to "The Circle", which this was adapted from.

consummerism
Enlightened story about how an innocent young girl is manipulated into the mass market consumption that is frighteningly current.
