SJSU Campus Reading Program: The Circle

–

San Jose State’s Campus Reading Program involves the members of its campus, students and employees, reading the same book. A book is selected each year that students, faculty and staff are encouraged to read during the summer. Then at the start of the fall semester, readers engage in critique and analysis of the book in small discussions groups. The Fall 2015 selection is The Circle by Dave Eggers, a novel which addresses many of the issues of privacy, online identity, and cybersecurity that the artists of Covert Operations: Investigating the Known Unknowns tackle in their work.

They employ the tools of democracy to bear witness to attacks on liberty and to the abuse of power: they reveal previously unreported information and government actions that may limit civil rights.
