The world as we know it is ending. Evolution has reversed itself, affecting every living creature on earth. Science cannot stop the world from running backwards, as woman after woman gives birth to infants that appear to be primitive species of humans. Thirty-two-year-old Cedar Hawk Songmaker, adopted daughter of a pair of big-hearted, open-minded Minneapolis liberals, is as disturbed and uncertain as the rest of America around her. But for Cedar, this change is profound and deeply personal. She is four months pregnant.
Though she wants to tell the adoptive parents who raised her from infancy, Cedar first feels compelled to find her birth mother, Mary Potts, an Ojibwe living on the reservation, to understand both her and her baby’s origins. As Cedar goes back to her own biological beginnings, society around her begins to disintegrate, fueled by a swelling panic about the end of humanity.
There are rumors of martial law, of Congress confining pregnant women. Of a registry, and rewards for those who turn these wanted women in. Flickering through the chaos are signs of increasing repression: a shaken Cedar witnesses a family wrenched apart when police violently drag a mother from her husband and child in a parking lot. The streets of her neighborhood have been renamed with Bible verses. A stranger answers the phone when she calls her adoptive parents, who have vanished without a trace. It will take all Cedar has to avoid the prying eyes of potential informants and keep her baby safe.
A chilling dystopian novel both provocative and prescient, Future Home of the Living God is a startlingly original work from one of our most acclaimed writers: a moving meditation on female agency, self-determination, biology, and natural rights that speaks to the troubling changes of our time.
I couldn't finish this book, i'm a big dystopia fan but i couldn't seem to care about this world. I didn't like the writing either, unfortunately.
评分3.5吧。虽然不少细节还是很能显示Louise Erdrich的功力,但整体结构和行文实在过于仓促,很多情节和人物都没有展开,缺乏motive和逻辑。她说(为了蹭热点)整个出版过程非常赶,好希望她能回过头去重新再把这个故事写一遍。

评分披着不靠谱科幻外衣的种族+女权主义小说。作者对北美原住民的刻画确实不错,在她的其他作品里也有体现。但是感觉这本书想探讨很多方面,结果一个都没写好。没坚持到最后,读着有点失望。
