The Future by the acclaimed author of The Power is a gripping tour de force that dives deep into the complexities of our digital age. This novel has garnered accolades from literary giants like Margaret Atwood, who hails it as “gripping,” while Lauren Beukes describes it as “brilliant.”
Set against a backdrop of societal collapse, The Future follows Lai Zhen, an Internet-famous survivalist, trapped in a Singapore mall as she navigates the chaos surrounding her. Desperate to understand the world she is leaving behind, Zhen's journey is filled with suspense and unexpected twists. Alongside her, Martha Einkorn traverses the elite circles of mega-rich companies, wrestling with her tumultuous past and fleeing from a cult-like existence. As Martha uncovers her father's apocalyptic warnings, the stakes rise, intertwining her ambition with Zhen's curiosity in a quest that could either spark hope or lead to catastrophic outcomes.
This thought-provoking novel is more than just a story; it's a mirror reflecting our own world and the choices we make. Key features include:
- Action-packed narrative: Experience a thrilling ride through a vividly crafted dystopian world.
- Rich character development: Dive into the lives of dynamic characters facing moral dilemmas and challenging choices.
- Critical acclaim: Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, praised by top literary figures.
In The Future, explore the delicate balance between survival and destruction in a society on the brink of collapse. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
