Edit at the bottom I've enjoyed this book because I love technological dystopians, but not 5* enjoyed. I almost DNF because I disliked the behavior of the main character so much, but I continued because this book is supposed to be so amazing. It is a bit overhyped, and [b:ZERO|20871473|ZERO|Marc Elsberg|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1392831945s/20871473.jpg|40209932] is severely underhyped.

I'm serious, if you like this book, go read that. The worldbuilding is much better, you really see and understand the dystopian part of it. In the beginning of The Cirle, the changed world is explained, but I don't completely grasp it, I don't see it. But if you still want to read this book, you should do but start with this one and follow up withboth books by [a:Marc Elsberg|5352000|Marc Elsberg|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1362247978p2/5352000.jpg] :)

That, and the behavior of the main character, are my reasons for not rating this book 5 stars. The forth, which makes it above average, is for the subject and the technological dystopian, because I love this genre and you don't see it very often, especially this hyped. I do like it that the company feels like Facebook/Apple/Google on steroids, this makes it quite realistic for the future, which is of course very scary.. But overall I'm not blown away by this book.

Edit: So, I was like 4* becasue 3 is average and this subject is above average.. but I changed my mind. I shouldn't rate a book this high because of the subject, when it is poorly written, and that is how I feel about this book. It feels like a 2* book, o I should rate it 2* instead of giving it to much credit for the choice of subject.
