The Future
by Naomi Alderman
In a not-so-distant future, after billionaires have enriched themselves for generations, they prepare to save themselves in an apocalypse. As the rich hatch their survival plan, is there another solution other than destroying the Earth?
FUTURE covers various topics, including big tech, climate change, social media, and survivalism. The writing is beautiful and world-building expansive. My main qualm is its uneven pacing due to alternating POVs, jumping timelines, and tangential backstories. At times, it was incredibly tough to follow on audio. Fans of literary SSF not looking for a fast-paced story might appreciate the story more than I did.
