Our view
“The Future” leaves its readers with a great deal to think about, wrapped in a thriller about tech billionaires and a world in crisis. Naomi Alderman moves between the billionaires, a survivalist, an assistant and a preppers’ forum, with the biblical story of Lot in the background. Some readers find the threads hard to follow at times; others finish it in a single day.
