"A Hologram for the King" author Eggers tells the story of Mae Holland, who is hired to work at a mammoth Internet company known as the Circle. The Circle appears to be glamorous and operating for the good of society, but the company may not be what it seems. "She's a complete true believer," Nelson says of the character Mae, as she appears at the beginning of the novel. "[But] it's a little bit more sinister than she was led to believe."
