‘Gripping’ MARGARET ATWOOD
'A fabulous, witty writer on the digital world’ SUNDAY TIMES
'A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant and I loved it' LAUREN BEUKES
The latest novel from the Women’s Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Power, The Future is a white-knuckle tour de force and dazzling exploration of the world we have made and where we are going.
Lai Zhen is about to die. As an Internet-famous survivalist, she’s spent her life prepping for the end of the world. But now, desperate and cornered in a mall in Singapore, she’s mad she might go out not knowing what the hell is going on. If she makes it out alive, what kind of a future will be waiting for her?
Across the world, Martha Einkorn works the room at a gathering of mega-rich companies hell-bent securing a future just for them. Covert weapons, private weather, technological prophecy, when Martha fled her father’s compound she may have left the cult behind, but if the apocalyptic warnings of his fox and rabbit sermon are starting to come true, how much future is actually left?
Martha and Zhen’s worlds are about to collide. 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.
‘A rollicking, fun-packed thriller’ ALASTAIR REYNOLDS

Solid near future science fiction, scary credible
Weak writing, became somewhat tedious despite solid base. A little preachy, and preaching to the converted
