Time's dystopian commodification: an allegory of inequality.

"Everything Belongs to the Future" resonates deeply in a world where the divide between the haves and the have-nots is widening. Laurie Penny has woven a narrative that's as thought-provoking as it is chilling, crafting a future that reflects our present in terrifying clarity. The book's sharp critique of class divisions and the commodification of time is bound to captivate if you're drawn to stories that speak about societal issues through the lens of speculative fiction.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Time is a weapon wielded by the rich, who have excess of it, against the rest, who must trade every breath of it against the promise of another day's food and shelter. What kind of world have we made, where human beings can live centuries if only they can afford the fix? What kind of creatures have we become? The same as we always were, but keener.In the ancient heart of Oxford University, the ultra-rich celebrate their vastly extended lifespans. But a few surprises are in store for them. From Nina and Alex, Margo and Fidget, scruffy anarchists sharing living space with an ever-shifting cast of crusty punks and lost kids. And also from the scientist who invented the longevity treatment in the first place.Everything Belongs to the Future is a bloody-minded tale of time, betrayal, desperation, and hope that could only have been told by the inimitable Laurie Penny.
