The Power
by Naomi Alderman
Naomi Alderman's The Power runs a single biological twist to its limit: teenage girls wake up able to loose electricity from their hands, and within a few years the whole architecture of the world has to be rebuilt around them. It's speculative fiction that uses one ruthless premise to ask how power actually behaves once it changes hands.
