The future : a novel
Edité par Fourth Estate - paru en 2023
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, whilst spouting technological prophecy. Martha may have left a 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.
