英文简介:
A Most Anticipated Book of Fall at Associated Press, Booklist, Chicago Tribune, Goodreads, Good Housekeeping, Literary Hub, Time, The Week, and W Magazine The bestselling, award-winning author of The Power delivers a dazzling tour de force where a handful of friends plot a daring heist to save the world from the tech giants whose greed threatens life as we know it.
When Martha Einkorn fled her father’s isolated compound in Oregon, she never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything.
Now, she’s surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry, while spouting technological prophecy.
Martha may have left the cult, but if the apocalyptic warnings in her father’s fox and rabbit sermon–once a parable to her–are starting to come true, how much future is actually left? Across the world, in a mall in Singapore, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, flees from an assassin.
She’s cornered, desperate and–worst of all–might die without ever knowing what’s going on.
Suddenly, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape.
Who made it? What is it really for? And if those behind it can save her from danger, what do they want from her, and what else do they know about the future? Martha and Zhen’s worlds are about to collide.
An explosive chain of events is set in motion.
While a few billionaires assured of their own safety lead the world to destruction, Martha’s relentless drive and Zhen’s insatiable curiosity could lead to something beautiful or the cataclysmic end of civilization.
By turns thrilling, hilarious, tender, and always piercingly brilliant, The Future unfolds at a breakneck speed, highlighting how power corrupts the few who have it and what it means to stand up to them.
The future is coming.
The Future is here.
中文简介:
美联社、Booklist、芝加哥论坛报、Goodreads、Good Housekeeping、Literary Hub、Time、The Week 和 W Magazine 的秋季最受期待的书籍一群朋友策划了一场大胆的抢劫，以拯救世界免受科技巨头的侵害，正如我们所知，这些科技巨头的贪婪威胁着我们的生命。
当玛莎·艾因科恩 (Martha Einkorn) 逃离父亲位于俄勒冈州的偏僻大院时，她从未想到自己会为一位执意控制一切的强大社交媒体大亨工作。
现在，她周围都是超级富有的公司，这些公司设计私人天气、预测分析和秘密武器，同时大肆宣扬技术预言。
玛莎可能已经离开了邪教，但如果她父亲的狐狸和兔子布道中的世界末日警告——曾经对她来说是一个寓言——开始成为现实，那么未来实际上还剩下多少呢？在世界的另一边，新加坡的一家商场里，网络知名的生存主义者赖震逃离了一名刺客。
她被逼入绝境，绝望，而且最糟糕的是，她可能会在不知道发生了什么的情况下死去。
突然，她的手机上出现了一款非凡的软件，告诉她如何逃跑。
是谁做的？它到底是为了什么？如果幕后黑手能够将她从危险中拯救出来，他们想从她这里得到什么，他们对未来还了解什么？玛莎和珍的世界即将发生碰撞。
一连串爆炸性的事件开始发生。
虽然一些确信自己安全的亿万富翁将世界引向毁灭，但玛莎的不懈努力和珍永不知足的好奇心可能会导致美好的事物或文明的灾难性终结。
《未来》以惊人的速度展开，时而惊心动魄，时而热闹，时而温柔，时而总是光芒四射，凸显了权力如何腐蚀少数拥有权力的人，以及对抗他们意味着什么。
未来即将来临。
未来就在这里。
