And making it so important that each person be connected to 3, 7, NINE screens at a time? It seems like, long-term, it'd be pretty easy to control everyone just by the fact that you never see anything or anyone outside the company.Allie @ Everyday Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221029819826266578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-82478852236120853082014-06-18T09:26:40.275-04:002014-06-18T09:26:40.275-04:00Hypothetical question: if we were all transparent ...Hypothetical question: if we were all transparent … who would watch us?

I was so surprised that Mae didn't listen to Kalden/Ty... although, I guess I really shouldn't be seeing as she was completely brainwashed by the Circle. I sure hope our future doesn't end up like this!
