In The Power the world is a recognisable place: there's a rich Nigerian kid who larks around the family pool; a foster girl whose religious parents hide their true nature; a local American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family. But something vital has changed, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power - they can cause agonising pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world changes utterly.
This extraordinary novel by Naomi Alderman, a Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and Granta Best of British writer, is not only a gripping story of how the world would change if power was in the hands of women but also exposes, with breath-taking daring, our contemporary world.
I read The Power as part of Elle Cordova's Sci-Fi book club, and what struck me immediately was the simplicity—and audacity—of its premise. What if women and girls suddenly acquired a physical capacity that made them dominant? What if they could electrocu...

很喜欢这本书的主题，而且我也很想好好读一本科幻小说。但是有点失望，因为故事很散乱，主题并不突出，而反复地提到宗教在其中的作用。如果是女性小说，那就好好写一下女性吧。但是有声书的朗读者们真是念得好，惟妙惟肖。如果不是因为他们，可能坚持不下去。

21% 一般宣传语是《经典书目A》+《经典书目B》的书都不会太好看 作者还加入了一些历史写实的东西 追溯了一下手心发电的历史 但就是很不抓人啊啊 女性一旦有能够作为威胁的武器 让男性感觉地位不保 就会开始猎巫 甚至获得能力的女性会开始贬低隐藏自己 同样认为这是天谴 这部分太真实了

很喜欢这个题材，但是开头让人很难集中看下去，因为不太清楚作者到底想写什么，有点散乱的人物和故事线，过了一段时间才慢慢串联起来。喜欢这样的想法，当女性有了力量，这个世界就会绝对的公平吗？让我不禁思考，这个社会会有公平的那一天吗。当有权势存在的时候，自然就会有相对强势和相对弱势的存在。无论是两性，工作中或者团队里，都没有绝对公平的。或是人性使然。那就这样过下去吧。

书的结构对我来说很新颖，故事越看到后面越觉得“这tmd什么玩意儿”，但细想好像人类历史上都发生过这么fucked up的事情。性转版世界大战，结尾的信的最后一句简直！
