The Future by Naomi Alderman

An electrifying new novel from the author of The Power. Set in the very near future, a future we could be heading to fast, this is the story of secret bunkers, private weather and fearsome weaponry. It’s also the story of an audacious heist in which the future of the world is at stake. Today: Two months before the world's richest tech CEOs make their way to their secret bunkers, survivalist Lai Zhen narrowly evades an assassin in a Singapore mall. Is there a link? Writer: Naomi Alderman Reader: Ell Potter Abridger: Katrin Williams Producer Justine Willett
