SHIT SHIT, this book is so good. It's DESTINED to be made into a Handmaid's Tale sort of TV miniseries in the next 1-3 years (probably around the time it gets a paperback release). 100 pages in and I have had butterflies the whole time. The basic premise is that young women develop this electrical sort of power and can shock/cause pain/even kill people with it. Gradually as the power spreads (young women can sort of awaken it in older woman) it overturns society. It is a fascinating way to look at gender dynamics, is not anti-male, and does not portray this new world order of woman as this pretty little fluffy world where women are NEVER corrupted by their power (a lot of people seem to dislike that it portrays some women as abusing their power, rather than ruling benevolently over men). Politics, religious myths, even sexuality will never be the same again, after this "Revolution".
It's done in a multiple first person POV around the world, but is also told in a journalistic/epidemic style that makes it feel very plausible and concrete.
I dunno,it's hard to do it justice, but I just love books that totally shake up my entire worldview.
