Reviews
'Alderman has crafted characters readers will want to follow wherever they go-even to the end of the world. A smart, engrossing fable about digital technology and human community' Kirkus Starred Review
'The endless intrigue and surprising twists keep the pages turning' Publishers Weekly
'Playful, incisive, horribly relevant and surprisingly hopeful, The Future is a thrill ride that's also a powerful manifesto hurtling towards a world where everything might turn out to be okay. A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it's brilliant and I loved it' Lauren Beukes, New York Times bestselling author of The Shining Girls
'It is the genius of Naomi Alderman to embed a smart and thought-provoking meditation inside a page-turner of a book. This is one wild (and thoughtful) ride. Many things to think! Many things to feel!' Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
'How can a novel of big ideas be such compulsively readable entertainment? A nail-biting love story and a witty page-turner about the pros and cons of human civilization, The Future is a wow' Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room
'Elegantly written, funny and frightening, The Future is a must-read - and one of those books other authors wish they'd written' Nick Harkaway, author of Titanium Noir
'The Future couldn't be more timely, or more welcome. It manages to be a persuasive, carefully thought-through manual for social and technological change, a roadmap to a better, greener, kinder tomorrow - a world that's ours for the taking if we want it badly enough - while also a rollicking, fun-packed thriller with juicy stakes, constantly escalating twists, and a cast of characters who feel like they already exist somewhere out there in our fragile, free-wheeling present' Alastair Reynolds, author of Eversion
