  1. The Power by Naomi Alderman is extremely good, I'm pretty sure it will become a SF classic, and I'm kinda surprise it isn't already (or maybe it is and I'm just not in touch with what the classics are anymore).

    It takes place in our contemporary world, and women suddenly get "the power", a physical ability to send electric shocks they can modulate to the point of incapacitating or even killing someone. It's told a bit in a documentary way, focusing on 4 characters : a politician, a journalist, a gang member and cult leader.

    It's a thriller, feminist essay, social commentary, and sociology lesson all packed in one, and I don't think I can recommend it enough, go read it!
