In her new novel, “The Future,” the bestselling author suggests that, with enough money, kindness and yes, tech, our world could be transformed.
This is the way the world ends: not with a bang or a whimper, but an alert from an early-warning system sent to one’s personal device, signaling imminent apocalypse. The alert isn’t for you or me or the billions of others on our planet.
Zhen quickly realizes this isn’t a random shooting: She’s the target. She escapes, with a clever shout-out to the fate of Lot’s wife back in Sodom. It’s a great scene and setting, reminiscent of William Gibson’s glittering dystopias and engulfing paranoias.
