Readers who search for books like The Future by Naomi Alderman aren’t just looking for dystopian thrill. They’re after a world on the edge—where tech, power, and the human condition collide in ways that feel all too possible. It’s about survival, sure—but survival in a world shaped by systems beyond any single person’s control.

If that’s what draws you to The Future, there’s another speculative thriller you need to know.
That novel is This Could Be It.
What Readers Love About The Future
In The Future, Naomi Alderman crafts a world where tech billionaires see the end coming—and think they can control it. It’s a speculative future where power and survival are inseparable, and where the decisions of a few shape the fate of the many.
Readers who respond to The Future often want:
- High-stakes speculation that feels eerily relevant
- Questions about who really controls our future—technology or people
- Moral dilemmas wrapped inside thrilling plotlines
Where This Could Be It Fits—And Why It’s Different
This Could Be It taps into the same existential uncertainty. In a world where humanity’s connection to The Source is fading, the stakes aren’t just personal—they’re species-wide.
Like The Future, it explores power and control—who holds the keys to survival, and who’s left in the dark. But This Could Be It goes deeper into the human psyche. It’s not just about who controls the future—it’s about whether we can face it together or remain fractured.
Why Readers of The Future Choose This Could Be It
Readers who finish The Future often look for the next speculative thriller that makes them think about the world they live in—and what might happen next.
This Could Be It answers that search by:
- Merging speculative technology with metaphysical stakes
- Presenting characters divided between rational science and mystic belief—mirroring modern ideological divides
- Creating a countdown that isn’t just about survival—but about meaning
If You’re Searching for Books Like The Future
You’re already looking beyond today—toward a world shaped by choices we haven’t yet made.
This Could Be It was written for readers who want:
- Speculative thrillers with psychological depth
- A world on the brink—not just of collapse, but transformation
- Tension between control, belief, and the unknown
If The Future made you question who shapes tomorrow, This Could Be It will make you ask whether we’ll face it united—or not at all.
