Naomi Alderman Libri

Quando Martha Einkorn è fuggita dal compound isolato di suo padre in Oregon, non si aspettava di trovarsi a lavorare per un potente magnate dei social media deciso a controllare tutto. Ora è circondata da aziende miliardarie che progettano meteo privato, analisi predittive e armi segrete, mentre profetizzano un futuro tecnologico. Martha potrebbe aver lasciato il culto, ma se gli avvertimenti apocalittici nel sermone del padre, un tempo una parabola per lei, stanno iniziando a diventare realtà, quanto futuro resta davvero? In un centro commerciale a Singapore, Lai Zhen, una sopravvissuta famosa su internet, fugge da un assassino. È in un angolo, disperata e, peggio di tutto, potrebbe morire senza mai sapere cosa stia accadendo. Improvvisamente, un software straordinario appare sul suo telefono, dicendole esattamente come fuggire. Chi l'ha creato? A cosa serve realmente? E se chi lo ha realizzato può salvarla, cosa vogliono da lei e cosa sanno del futuro? I mondi di Martha e Zhen stanno per collidere. Una catena esplosiva di eventi è in procinto di scatenarsi. Mentre alcuni miliardari, certi della propria sicurezza, conducono il mondo verso la distruzione, la determinazione di Martha e la curiosità insaziabile di Zhen potrebbero portare a qualcosa di bello o alla fine catastrofica della civiltà.
