Quote #10
Mae knew she shouldn't press him, but her mouth got ahead of her. "But you can't be saying that everyone should know everything."
Bailey's eyes widened, as if pleased she'd led him to an idea he coveted. "Of course not. But I am saying that everyone should have a right to know everything, and should have the tools to know anything." (1.44.105-106)
In The Circle, Ty Gospodinov characterizes Eamon Bailey's ideology as "infocommunism"—a term that might suggest that Bailey is the opposite of greedy since he wants to make sure that everyone shares what he or she has. All the same, Bailey is one of the novel's most demanding and covetous figures. If his employees aren't willing to give everything they have to the Circle, then they aren't giving enough.
