The Future

A thought-provoking book about a recognisable world and how we might get worse or better as a society/planet. Also, read right till the very very end!

This was great fun reading The Future. From page 1, its originality and world-building were excellent. Surprising twists and turns in this story of billionaires endeavoring to escape the end of the world.

Is tech a science? Close enough.

I was on my way home from the grocery store, and I heard Naomi Alderman in an interview about this, her latest book, on NPR’s All Things Considered. It's a good thing I didn’t buy ice cream that day because I sat in the car in the driveway, listening until the end. Hearing her, I knew I had to read the book. And when I did, I couldn’t put it down (the reading equivalent of sitting in the driveway listening to the radio?).

Populated with extraordinary characters, from genuinely good to incredibly greedy, this… show more.
