The Future (book)

Tweet

I finished listening to The Future by Naomi Alderman. She wrote another book called The Power which I read and loved. There was a show based on that book, but it was sadly canceled. She has two other books that I want to read. Big Warning: there is some violence and several twists. Semi Spoiler below. In this book, a woman named Lai Zhen meets a woman Martha Einkorn at a convention. Lai Zhen is an internet survivalist and she is interviewing Martha. Martha works for a tech company. She also was part a religious cult that her father ran. Lai Zhen and Martha end up become lovers. But then Martha ghosts her, but leaves a gift behind. Lai Zhen doesn't know what the gift is until she is chased by an assassin who was part of that cult that Martha's father ran. The gift helped Lai Zhen to escape the assassin. She is freaked out so she goes to see a friend who ends up causing Lai Zhen to be involved a major coverup. In the end, the world becomes better and happier. I loved this book. I didn't want it to end. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. Now I'm reading You Killed Me First by John Marrs.
