When the world ends, who will survive? Tech giants would probably be a good bet. The author of The Power takes us on another world-tilting adventure about the apocalypse-obsessed people who run the world (and that affects everyone who uses their products). But really, they end up being far less interesting than the people who are run-the-world adjacent - an influential blogger, a techie's kid, a number two with a secret culty past, and a spouse who also knows how to make the code work end up being our focus here. Alderman's wild ride includes plenty of twists, and rewards for those who are persistent little foxes.
