Naomi Alderman is a writer who likes to question established ways of thinking. In 2017 her novel The Power won the Bailey鈥檚 Women鈥檚 Prize for fiction. It imagines a world where women develop the ability to emit electric shocks from their fingers, leading to a worldwide reversal in the traditional balance of power between the sexes. The book became a global bestseller, and more recently a nine part TV drama.
A sense of rebellion was evident in the title of her first novel, Disobedience: it鈥檚 tale of a woman who questions the conventions of the strict Orthodox Jewish community in which she grew up, and draws in part on Naomi鈥檚 own experiences.
Along with four novels, Naomi created and written computer games, including Zombies, Run! This immersive app encourages you to improve your fitness 鈥� by running faster to escape predatory zombies.
Naomi's musical choices include Mozart, Respighi, Bach and Stephen Sondheim.
