The bestselling, award-winning author of The Power delivers a โpage-turningโ (Los Angeles Times), โpropulsiveโ (The Boston Globe), โthrillingโ (BookPage, starred review) tour de force where a handful of friends plot a daring heist to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it.
Martha Einkorn never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now, sheโs surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry while spouting technological prophecy. Across the world, in a mall in Singapore, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, flees from an assassin. Suddenly, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape. Who made it? What do they know about the future that Zhen doesnโt?
When Martha and Zhenโs worlds collide, an explosive chain of events is set in motion. While a few billionaires assured of their own safety lead the world to destruction, Marthaโs relentless drive and Zhenโs insatiable curiosity could lead to something beautifulโor it could herald the cataclysmic end of civilization.
By turns โplayful, incisive, horribly relevant, and surprisingly hopefulโ (Lauren Beukes, New York Times bestselling author of The Shining Girls), The Future unfolds at breakneck speed, highlighting how power corrupts the few who have it and what it means to stand up to them. The future is coming. The Future is here.
