British novelist Naomi Alderman is a "what if” kind of writer, as in: What if women were able to release electricity through their fingers, the premise of her acclaimed bestseller The Power?

For her upcoming book, simply and descriptively titled The Future, she imagined a handful of rogues - including an unhappy spouse and a deposed executive - overthrowing the masters of Silicon Valley and running the tech world themselves.
