DEATH OF THE AUTHOR
Nnedi Okorafor
Let me introduce you to Zelu…
Zelu is an adjunct English professor who just got fired for unfounded reasons if you let Zelu tell it. But who cares? Zelu doesn’t. She has her sister’s wedding to attend and that is all she can worry about right now. She’ll deal with life later.
She has a good time at the wedding. She is happy to celebrate her sister, she finds a way to enjoy her family, eats a lot of good food, dances a little, and even meets a man. The morning after she sits down and begins to write.
This writing…
It is unlike anything she has ever written before. This is DEATH OF THE AUTHOR.
I’m really interested in anything that has to do with artificial intelligence. It is extremely interesting to me how this creation was invented, how it may affect the world, how we can use it, how it can use us. I loved the way AI was discussed in this book and the one inside it.
Zelu is (not maybe) one of my favorite characters ever! She is real, she is someone you know IRL, she was crafted with the rainbow, and she jumps off the page.
The alignment of the concepts of being bodiless from a human and artificial intelligence perspective was superb. My words are not giving justice to the point where those concepts collide.
The writing was stellar, the themes were on point, and I was given room to roam in the vast universe that is Nnedi Okorafor.
Thanks to Netgalley and William Morrow for the advanced copy!
