The Every / int_2e8441c9	type	The Bad Guy Wins
The Every / int_2e8441c9	comment	The Bad Guy Wins: In the end, none of Delaney's efforts to discredit the Every in the eyes of the public yield any fruit. And to add insult to injury, the book ends with Every CEO Mae pushing Delaney off a cliff and hijacking all of her ideas to make the Every even more powerful.

The Every / int_61066d95	type	Fictional Counterpart
The Every / int_61066d95	comment	Fictional Counterpart: The "ecommerce behemoth named after a South American jungle" that became part of the Every is never named but is obviously Amazon. Due to the acrimonious conditions of the merger it is not considered appropriate to say the company's previous name on campus and Everyones will just refer to it as "the jungle". The book mentions that the Circle acquired "the jungle" after it became overrun with knockoff products and that its CEO was happy to cash out so he could focus on his pet project of space travel with his fourth wife. Oddly enough, the Alexa voice assistant is mentioned by name later in the book.

The Every / int_7a53b67d	comment	Sinister Surveillance: The Every have promoted the widespread adoption of their cameras worldwide (in the name of public safety), employee's mandatory smartwatches record every word they say and warn them for saying anything negative, and the general public is happy to post videos "shamming" (publicly shaming) everyone around them for transgressions like littering or cutting in line.

The Every / int_8cb1a369	type	Took a Level in Jerkass
The Every / int_8cb1a369	comment	Took a Level in Jerkass: Mae Holland, now the CEO of the Every, has sidelined the prior leadership to maintain her grip on power. This includes forcing Eamon Bailey into semi-retirement and keeping his passion projects on a "short leash". After Eamon's death later in the book she cuts funding to them entirely. The book ends with Mae shoving Delaney off a cliff, deciding there is no need to hold any sort of public memorial beyond a 20 second eulogy on her next livestream, and then presenting Delaney's ideas as her own.

Despite being made "by a talented director and starring actors of consummate skill" it was "considered unsuccessful and was seen by few", failing to tarnish the Circle's public image.
