The Future by Naomi Alderman

As the world's richest tech CEOs get the secret news that the world is about to end, they prepare to head to safety, in a new novel from the prize-winning author of The Power.

From the bestselling author of The Power, The Future is a zeitgeisty, white-knuckle-ride of a novel about a daring heist that could end civilisation - or save the world.

Set in the near future, a few billionaires of tech companies seem to be leading the world to destruction while safeguarding their own survival with secret lavish bunkers. Their profits come from extremely reckless pursuits, including private weather, covert weapons and predictive analytics - but they can afford to be reckless, knowing that if and when it all goes wrong, they're safe and will continue humanity. But a daring team of preppers, AI gurus, coders and survivalists come together in an audacious heist to save humanity, and create a better world.
