On the Imagination of Future Society in the Novel The Circle
The Circle,published in 2013 by American writer Dave Eggers,expresses concern about the end of privacy in the future.The novel points out that a new kind of surveillance society is about to emerge in the future with the continuous development of digital technology.The future surveillance society in the novel is no longer dominated and implemented by the government but by high-tech companies.Its power structure is characterized by duality,which is both liberating and servile.This makes the novel a seemingly beautiful digital utopia while a digital dystopia irony and warning lies behind it.
