The Power

Author: Naomi Alderman

In a world where women suddenly develop the ability to unleash electrical currents from their fingertips, everything changes. Alderman’s gripping narrative follows four characters as they navigate this seismic shift in power dynamics. Through their eyes, we witness society’s transformation, from playground politics to global conflicts. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of gender roles, corruption, and the nature of power itself. I found myself questioning long-held assumptions and pondering the book’s implications long after the final page.

Power doesn’t care about your intentions.
