“Magnificent. I’m agog. I’m several gogs. Smart and scary and sad but true. It’s a classic, in the way that it’s hard to imagine it ever wasn’t there.”―Joss Whedon
“Alderman has written our era’s Handmaid’s Tale, and, like Margaret Atwood’s classic, The Power is one of those essential feminist works that terrifies and illuminates, enrages and encourages….This book sparks with such electric satire that you should read it wearing insulated gloves.”―Ron Charles, Washington Post
“Narratively complex, philosophically searching, and gorgeously rendered.”―Lisa Shea, Elle
“Fierce and unsettling…Through immersive prose and a riveting plot, Alderman explores how power corrupts everyone: those who gain it, and those resisting its loss.”―Radhika Jones, New York Times Book Review
“Richly imagined, ambitious, and propulsively written.”―Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
“Alderman’s writing is beautiful, and her intelligence seems almost limitless. She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly.”―Michael Schaub, NPR
“Alderman’s tilted dystopia is a smartly layered place of slippery slopes and moral ambiguities, a fitting folktale for strange times.”―Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
“I was riveted by every page. Alderman’s prose is immersive and, well, electric, and I felt a closed circuit humming between the book and me as I read.”―Amal El-Mohtar, New York Times Book Review
“An instant classic of speculative fiction… Smart, readable and joyously achieved.”
―Justine Jordan, Guardian
