The ability to produce electricity is central to Naomi Alderman's 2016 science fiction novel The Power.[26] In the book, women develop the ability to release electrical jolts from their fingers, powerful enough to stun or kill.[27] Fish such as the electric eel, Electrophorus electricus, create powerful electric fields with modified muscles, stacked end-to-end as cells in a battery, and the novel indeed references such fish and the electricity generated in striated muscle.[28]
