‘The Circle’ written by David Eggers and published this year, is a modern day twist on 1984 but it seemed so real and so close to where we are heading as a digital society. I recommend it, especially for those in the tech space. It was a fun fictional page turner and I couldn’t put it down for the week. http://www.amazon.com/The-Circle-Dave-Eggers/dp/0345807294

Also see the "The Circle", a recently-published dystopian novel by Dave Eggers about a social network of the same name.
The story/plot/characters are meh, but I give it 5 stars for provoking thoughts about hyper-connectedness, net neutrality, surveillance, over-sharing on social networks, the ubiquity of technology, etc.
