'Veep' and 'Dickinson' alum Rachel Axler will adapt the novel, a sequel to the author's 'The Circle.'
Rachel Axler is adapting the novel, which is a sequel to Eggers’ 2013 book. The potential series will follow what happens when the world’s largest tech company merges with the planet’s dominant e-commerce site, creating the richest and most dangerous — and, oddly enough, the most beloved — monopoly ever known.
The book centers on a woman who takes a job at The Every with the intent of taking it down from the inside. “In this equally terrifying and hilarious cautionary tale, Dave Eggers shows us the increasing cost of the frictionless life that technology enables,” said HBO Programming executive vp Amy Gravitt. “As he writes, ‘Nothing described herein actually happened, though much of it likely will,’ and what better starting point for an HBO comedy script?”Axler and Eggers will executive produce the potential series along with David Miner.
