Title: The Future
Author: Naomi Alderman
Genre: dystopian
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
I wasn’t a big fan of The Power but was willing to give this author another chance. Once I found out it was a dystopian novel, I was excited since this is my favorite genre. But, ugh, this book was a slog.
The story follows several characters, but mostly on Martha and Lai, who are random lovers but look back fondly upon their time together. Martha gives Lai a “gift” that turns out to be a valuable piece of tech. The story is also about several billionaires and their contributions to society. I was just so bored. I wanted to like the story, but it was just not interesting at all.
