Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor (2025)
In January, I wrote, “I feel bad for the rest of the books I will read this year.” As we wind down 2025, my statement holds.
No spoilers, but multiple stories power this novel. Advanced bio-prosthetics, driverless cars, and battle bots all feature in the plots. The narrative is American, African, and Galactic, expanding by the powers of ten.
Okorafor gives a soul and voice to what is artificial. Through that alchemy, she quilts together a complex, creative, and cautionary story about our collective walk into AI Evolution with intimacy and scale.
A novel for the Neo-Neolithic age.
Read it.
