Dave Eggers’ book The Every – a dystopian story about an Amazon-esque company – is set for a TV adaptation with HBO.The book, which is a follow up to the A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius author’s 2013 book The Circle, which was turned into a Tom Hanks and Emma Watson-fronted film, is being adapted as a half-hour comedy series by Veep co-exec producer Rachel Axler.The series follows the world’s largest tech company when merges with the planet’s dominant e-commerce site, creating the richest and most dangerous – and, oddly enough, the most beloved – monopoly ever known: The Every.The book was published last year by Eggers’ McSweeney’s.
It follows Delaney Wells, an unlikely new hire at the Every. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within.
