nastya ♡'s Reviews > The Future

what happens when techbro ecofascists fuck the lives of the planet and everyone in it? "the future" seeks to explore that.

in the not-so-distant future, three techbro billionaires control just about everything. software, hardware, stocks, oil, charitable funds, etc. when their hardcore crazy AI end times predictor gives them a warning that they are in imminent danger of apocalyptic events, they run off to hide in their majorly secure bunker which is eight stories and cost billions of dollars. do they warn the rest of the world? no! they save themselves (and maybe a few others) because that's what they do.

zehn is a chinese-american lesbian who gets sucked into this mess when she starts a love affair with one of the techbro's glorified secretaries. she's smart enough to survive, she posts her own videos about survival techniques. but will she?

warning: this book is long. but it is so fucking good. do you ever read something and become deeply engrossed in it to the point that if anyone tries to talk to you, you want to scream at them? yeah, this book got me. it's fun, it's twisty, it's silly, it's relevant, it's true, and it gives the socialist some hope for the future.

eat the rich!!!!

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
