Reviews
"Alderman has crafted characters readers will want to follow wherever they go--even to the end of the world. A smart, engrossing fable about digital technology and human community." -- Kirkus Starred Review "A daring, sexy, thrilling novel that may be the most wryly funny book about the end of civilization you'll ever read." --BookPage, Starred Review "The endless intrigue and surprising twists keep the pages turning." --Publishers Weekly " The Future , is (in my opinion) about to sweep the charts." --Margaret Atwood "This book. My god. My expectations were very high. And they were blown-out-of-the-water exceeded. Holy crap. I will be recommending this book to everyone. Forever." --Laurie Frankel, bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is "Playful, incisive, horribly relevant and surprisingly hopeful, The Future is a thrill ride that's also a powerful manifesto hurtling towards a world where everything might turn out to be okay. A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it's brilliant and I loved it." --Lauren Beukes, New York Times bestselling author of The Shining Girls and Bridge "It is the genius of Naomi Alderman to embed a smart and thought-provoking meditation inside a page-turner of a book. This is one wild (and thoughtful) ride. Many things to think! Many things to feel!" --Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves "How can a novel of big ideas be such compulsively readable entertainment? A nail-biting love story and a witty page-turner about the pros and cons of human civilization, The Future is a wow." --Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Learned by Heart and Room "Talk of AI--and fears of what it can do--are everywhere in the news these days, but nobody seems to know exactly WHY we should be afraid and where this is all leading. Except Naomi Alderman! Her bold new novel, The Future , looks at AI in all of its seductive, terrifying forms while telling a story that takes place RIGHT NOW and spans continents and world-ending catastrophes while managing to be intensely personal at the same time. A story of advertising tricks and devious (or downright evil) algorithms, cults and corporations, billionaires determined to save their own skins at all costs and eco-idealists equally determined to save the world, set in, of all places, Sodom and Gomorrah! A compulsory--and compulsive--read!" --Connie Willis, SFWA Grand Master "Elegantly written, funny and frightening, The Future is a must-read - and one of those books other authors wish they'd written." --Nick Harkaway, author of Titanium Noir " The Future couldn't be more timely, or more welcome. It's the book we need right now. It manages to be a persuasive, carefully thought-through manual for social and technological change, a roadmap to a better, greener, kinder tomorrow - a world that's ours for the taking if we want it badly enough - while also a rollicking, fun-packed thriller with juicy stakes, constantly escalating twists, and a cast of characters who feel like they already exist somewhere out there in our fragile, free-wheeling present." --Alastair Reynolds, author of Eversion, "Alderman has crafted characters readers will want to follow wherever they go--even to the end of the world.

Synopsis
A Most Anticipated Book of Fall at Associated Press, Booklist , Chicago Tribune , Goodreads , Good Housekeeping , Literary Hub , Time , The Week , and W Magazine The bestselling, award-winning author of The Power delivers a dazzling tour de force where a handful of friends plot a daring heist to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it. When Martha Einkorn fled her father's isolated compound in Oregon, she never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything . Now, she's surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry, while spouting technological prophecy. Martha may have left the cult, but if the apocalyptic warnings in her father's fox and rabbit sermon--once a parable to her--are starting to come true, how much future is actually left? Across the world, in a mall in Singapore, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, flees from an assassin. She's cornered, desperate and--worst of all--might die without ever knowing what's going on. Suddenly, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape. Who made it? What is it really for? And if those behind it can save her from danger, what do they want from her, and what else do they know about the future? Martha and Zhen ' s worlds are about to collide. An explosive chain of events is set in motion. While a few billionaires assured of their own safety lead the world to destruction, Martha's relentless drive and Zhen's insatiable curiosity could lead to something beautiful or the cataclysmic end of civilization. By turns thrilling, hilarious, tender, and always piercingly brilliant, The Future unfolds at a breakneck speed, highlighting how power corrupts the few who have it and what it means to stand up to them.
