A review by thepaperbackplanner
The Future by Naomi Alderman
5.0
Thanks to Simon Books for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review!
I absolutely DEVOURED this book. This is what I was hoping to get out of CAMP ZERO earlier this year: a story about the end of the world caused in no small part by shitty billionaires where someone actually wants to do something about it. I enjoyed the weaving of multiple points of view and narrative style throughout, never feeling lost or confused about where a chapter fell in the timeline. And while I suspected one of the major twists in the story, I wasn't disappointed that I'd seen it coming, I was delighted that the plot had taken that turn. The final big twist made me gasp aloud. Overall, I would recommend this if you like dystopias, hate assholes with more money than God, and feel ready to be swept into the future.
