The Future is a 2023 satirical science fiction novel by Naomi Alderman. It was published by Simon & Schuster.[1]
The novel is set in a future dystopia where the world has been altered by environmental crisis and a powerful technocracy.
The book received mostly positive reviews from critics.[2] Niall Harrison of Locus gave the novel a mixed review, writing that “a novel with an interesting argument. But I did just occasionally feel that I was watching the urge to imagine the metaphoriÂcal wedding sabotage the suspense of the journey.”[1] Stephanie Merritt of The Guardian wrote that “Alderman moves easily between an ironic, comic register and more reflective asides. She writes with warmth and wisdom; beyond the entertaining action sequences and the sci-fi gadgets, she posits an alternative future that acknowledges both our human weaknesses and our resilience.”[3]
