Hi Thomas, I’m not really big into reading. But hearing speak about books is something I always look forward to, whenever your your videos pop up on my feed. I’ve been watching you for years and just want to say thank you for making these videos.

I also enjoyed this story. The RoboCop and drones were a unique concept

[TheWordNrd]

I REALLY need to read more Okarafor. This sounds awesome and I have a friend that would love this too!

This book is on my to read list and now I DEFINETLY want to read it! :) would you recommend reading the other two books you mentioned beforehand? Or is the story clear on its own?

[josephfernandez]

Does the author have say on cover blurbs or is does the publisher typically decide on them? I find it hard to believe Okorafor would want a blurb from Veronica Roth on her cover considering her history of problematic writing (Carve the Mark).

Afrofuturism isn't a "westernized" African-American perspective; it's Black. Black people don't have a "western" experience just because we live in North America.

As a Black Afrofuturist writer, I've been really disenfranchised, let's say, by Okorafor's antagonism towards Black people in America.
