The Future

“How can a novel of big ideas be such compulsively readable entertainment? A nail-biting love story and a witty page-turner about the pros and cons of human civilization, The Future is a wow.” Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Haven

“The Future couldn’t be more timely, or more welcome. It’s the book we need right now. It manages to be a persuasive, carefully thought-through manual for social and technological change, a roadmap to a better, greener, kinder tomorrow – a world that’s ours for the taking if we want it badly enough – while also a rollicking, fun-packed thriller with juicy stakes, constantly escalating twists, and a cast of characters who feel like they already exist somewhere out there in our fragile, free-wheeling present.” Alastair Reynolds, author of Eversion
