About the Book

When Lan's granddaughter posts a furious message about online harm and hypocrisy that goes viral, her words trigger an internet pile-on to silence her. She and her family are forced to make a choice: retreat from the toxic mess that's wrecking our world or take a stand and fight for a better future. Only this most unlikely group of change makers, with its intergenerational mix of ancient wisdom and hi-tech savviness, has the vision to derail the capitalist status quo and make a lasting change to the system. Grand in scope and rich in courageous characters, here is a dream of a better future: a world that has learnt from the past, that we’d be proud to leave to our children. Dream deeply. Rise up strong. Change is coming...

About the Author :
Born in Scotland at 318ppm CO2, author and podcaster, Manda Scott's writing has spanned the eras from pre-Roman Britain with the Boudica: Dreaming series to the SOE/Maquis in WWII - and her latest novel, Any Human Power, looks forward to the future five minutes from now. Previous works have been shortlisted for the Orange Prize, nominated for an Edgar and won the McIlvanney Prize. Co-creator of the Thrutopia Masterclass and host of the international chart-topping Accidental Gods podcast, Manda has a degree in veterinary medicine and an MA in Regenerative Economics. She lives with her wife on a smallholding in the liminal space where England meets Wales.

Review :
'One of our best, most challenging authors is back' Ian Rankin 'An extraordinary, ground-breaking, high-wire act of a novel, which vividly evokes not just why our world is at breaking-point, but how a single nation could be quickly and radically transformed in a way that scales up to encompass the globe. I wasn't just gripped all the way through, but moved, uplifted and energised by Scott's wild, vast, brave and tangible vision of the possible. If you care about the future of life on Earth, this is the novel for you' Liz Jensen, author of Your Wild and Precious Life 'Instantly immersive and compelling, rich and strange, human and humane, and most of all inspiring… an extraordinary story' Lee Child 'Visionary' Audrey Tang 'Has the feel of a book that’s landed at just the right moment... Scott’s imagination has brought forth a radical manifesto, a holistic ideal in which seeing oneself in relation to eternity matters just as much as housing or transport policies, and she’s done it in a way that makes it seem as though it’s only five minutes in the future' Herald 'I loved the mix of fantasy and myth… A hugely entertaining read with compelling characters, elegant prose and a story where we really want to find out what happens’ Fantasy Hive 'A polemical thriller like no other, an absorbing manifesto to change the world. It constantly surprises. Manda Scott’s characters play havoc with your emotions, her narrative keeps you turning the pages, and her ideas might just change your life' Andrew Taylor, author of The Shadows of London 'Very readable and often engaging… this is not a novel for old fogies like me' Scotsman 'Manda Scott is an unmissable, visionary author and has created a compelling political thriller that inspires belief in the possibility of a better future. Born of dreams, Any Human Power is a dream read' Adam Hamdy, author of The Other Side of Night 'An astonishing novel, at once powerfully contemporary and mythopoeic. Of its many achievements, the greatest is giving a sense that there is a way forward from our current predicament: the creative gift of hope' Oliver Harris, author of The Shame Archive 'Any Human Power offers an unflinching and in-depth vision of our own world – expanded beyond our wildest imaginations. This is forward-thinking writing, full of agency and determination. It’s a book that fights fiercely for the future' Katie Hale, author of The Edge of Solitude
