Abstract: This dissertation examines the role and impact of simulation in the dystopian fiction, The Circle by Dave Eggers by highlighting how the characters in the novel are deceived by the illusory realities which results in a distorted perception of the world around them. The theoretical foundation of this research lies in the concept of Simulacra and Simulation given by the French sociologist and cultural theorist, Jean Baudrillard, which provides a framework for understanding how technology can create a simulated reality that diverges from the physical world. Through a critical reading of this novel, this study reveals how the company's technology creates a world that is seemingly perfect but is ultimately deceptive and examines its implications on the characters' sense of identity and self-worth when they become trapped in a simulation that ultimately erodes their individuality and freedom. This study further reveals how Dave Eggers uses simulation of the social media networking to critique the dangers of surveillance capitalism and the illusion of total transparency in the modern world that has lost authenticity and individuality in the quest for having recognition and validation of our existence. Keywords: Simulation, deception, technology, transparency, illusion, individuality.
