At this moment in Eggers novel, Almost everyone in the society approves and admires the notion of constant view on others through a screen. However, Mercer frames the concept differently. Mortified by this concept, Mercer, who is the voice of reason and the pariah in the novel, shares his thoughts on the Circle’s social media apps. In his eyes, The Circle’s monitoring of personal data is excessive and the addictive platform is pointless. In hopes to un-brainwash her, Mercer explains to Mae how the Circle’s efforts to interact with everyone at all times is futile. The snack analogy denotes this addiction will only get worse. It compares one's compulsion to binge on snacks with the non-essential need to go on social media.
