How many good men are there in Sodom?

I absolutely loved the full-cast audiobook production of this. Like in her other stellar book, the Power, Naomi sets this book up to have multiple main characters with intersecting plotlines, and it works beautifully.

I want to write a little summary of this book to get you to read it. But that would be giving so much away. So instead, let me tell you the premise: what if the tech billionaires, the Musks and Zucks of the world, actually did have secret bunkers in New Zealand to wait out the apocalypse? What if online conspiracy theorists are onto something? What if some of the info gets leaked? And what if you've got this "golden ticket" but find it immoral to leave humanity to face its own destruction?

This book is much more than that, but thats a start. Five stars for the complexity of the ideas explored, the joys of shifting between points of view, and the clever allusions to our present existential questions. This novel is very 2023 with blatant allusions to covid. But somehow it manages not to overdo it.

Recommended if you're terrified of the state of the world, rising inequality, the possibility of a worse pandemic, enjoy cults, have fallen into nihilism, worship AIs, etc etc etc. and if you love speculative fiction.
