Overview
The Alderman Collection brings together two searing works of speculative fiction from acclaimed British novelist Naomi Alderman. The Power, winner of the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, imagines a world upended when teenage girls develop a shocking new physical ability. The Future, Alderman's tense, propulsive follow-up, examines a handful of tech billionaires maneuvering to control humanity's fate as apocalypse looms. Together, these two paperbacks pair intimate character work with big, urgent ideas about power, gender, wealth, and survival, making this an essential set for readers of smart, boundary-pushing contemporary fiction.

About the Books
Naomi Alderman built her reputation as one of speculative fiction's sharpest voices with The Power, a novel that asks a simple, electrifying question: what happens if women, not men, hold physical dominance? When teenage girls discover they can generate powerful electric jolts from their bodies, the balance of authority everywhere -- in homes, religions, armies, and governments -- flips overnight. Alderman traces this transformation through several interlocking lives, from a foster kid uncovering her family's secrets to an ambitious politician riding the new order to power, building a story as thrilling as it is unsettling in what it reveals about power itself. The Future turns Alderman's attention to the near future, where a small circle of tech billionaires anticipate civilizational collapse and quietly prepare bunkers and escape routes while publicly selling the world a story of progress. When an internet-famous survivalist and a disillusioned insider start pulling at the threads connecting the billionaires' private schemes, the novel becomes a high-stakes chase through wealth, technology, and ideology. Both novels share Alderman's hallmark blend of kinetic plotting, morally complex characters, and clear-eyed social commentary, making this an especially rewarding pair for readers drawn to fiction that treats big ideas as deeply personal stakes. Fans of one novel will likely find the other a natural next read, since both ultimately interrogate who holds power, how it gets used, and what it costs everyone else.
