Quote #10
"Governments who are transparent? Legislators who owe their reputations to the Circle? Who could be ruined the moment they speak out? What do you think happened to Williamson? Remember her? She threatens the Circle monopoly and, surprise, the feds find incriminating stuff on her computer. You think that's a coincidence? That's about the hundredth person Stenton's done that to. Mae, once the Circle's complete, that's it. And you helped complete it." (2.27.53)
Ty Gospodinov, alias Kalden, makes it clear to Mae Holland that Tom Stenton has been using the Circle's powers to destroy the company's opponents. Why isn't Mae fazed by this news? Why does she still believe that the Circle will be a liberating force for humankind?
