Martha Einkorn never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now, sheās surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry while spouting technological prophecy. Across the world, in a mall in Singapore, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, flees from an assassin. Suddenly, a remarkable piece of software appears on her phone telling her exactly how to escape. Who made it? What do they know about the future that Zhen doesnāt?

The future is coming. The Future is here.
