JMB Book Club Featuring The Future by Naomi Alderman
As Part of the Exhibition "The Opposite of Now: Artistic Paths to a Different Present" (in German)
“This is the essential problem. We can imagine the future. And once we’ve imagined it, we can’t stop.”
Read along and join the discussion! Inspired by Naomi Alderman’s science fiction novel, we’ll explore visions of society in the near future.
When Martha Einkorn fled her father’s isolated compound in Oregon, she never expected to find herself working for a powerful social media mogul hell-bent on controlling everything. Now she’s surrounded by mega-rich companies designing private weather, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry, while spouting technological prophecy. Martha may have left the cult, but if the apocalyptic warnings in her father’s sermons are starting to come true, how much future is actually left?
“Alderman is one of the most consistently inventive contemporary British writers, combining literary and historical erudition with an instinct for narrative pace honed in her parallel career writing video games.” – The Guardian
Hosted by Monika Sommerer, director of the JMB Library, and Lena Kugler, writer and scholar of literature and culture
