The novel can be read as either a flawed utopia or a dystopia but is a eutopia from the perspective of the protagonist. The Circle is a large corporation that serves a very large and growing part of U.S. business with online services with the goal of absorbing all world business. The focus of the novel is first on the internal corporate cultural which is designed to absorb all of a worker\’s life and make that life known to everyone else in the country. This leads to the idea of everyone becoming \“transparent\” by wearing a camera that shows what they are seeing at all times. This spreads into the world outside the corporation and particularly to politicians.
