Influence of Dante and Technology

In The Circle, Mae's entire life changes due to her new job. Instead of working in her old environment filled with people she didn't like and business strategies she hated, she now works for The Circle. The Circle, focuses its work on bringing out peoples lives through technology . On her first day, Mae earned a record score in her division of the company. After little time, Mae was a true circler, moving her way through and up the ranks of The Circle. As she moves up, she becomes a "transparent" by wearing a small camera around her neck recording her every move throughout the day. This is good for Mae because the more viewers she has the better she looks for the company. However with every advancement in The Circle, she begins to move deeper and deeper into Hell. Self exposure and technology were never things that Mae believed in, and now The Circle has changed her as a person. Now the question is, is there anything or any way Mae can stop her descent into hell?
