Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. As someone who works in tech and fully recognizes the moral questions that different technological advances bring to light, I really liked the way novel was structured, and the characters kept me intrigued and borderline-anxious through their tough situations. Ms. Alderman certainly knows how to write about current topics in a way that parallels life and calls for self-reflection. A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads.

This book is at once dystopian and utopian. Like the Power it suggests that power corrupts but unlike it, here good can reverse the destruction that uncaring billionaires inflicts on the world.
The sympathetic character of Zhen ties the various characters and time lines together. I throughly enjoyed reading the Future for its insights in the perils of big tech and cleverly constructed plot that is often surprising. This is sure to be one of the best of the year.

Alderman's first book since THE POWER in 2017 exceeded all expectations! Recommended for fans of Jennifer Egan, Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, Dave Eggers, the list goes on.
