In a bold reimagining of power dynamics, The Power by Naomi Alderman presents a speculative world where teenage girls suddenly develop the ability to emit electrical energy from their bodies—a force that can harm, kill, or protect. As this new biological phenomenon spreads globally, long-standing social hierarchies begin to crumble, and women rise to dominant positions of authority. Told through the interwoven stories of a British foster girl, an American politician, a Nigerian journalist, and a religious leader, the novel explores how power transforms individuals and societies alike. Blending dystopian fiction, political commentary, and feminist themes, this gripping narrative challenges readers to question who holds power—and how they choose to wield it.
