Death of the Author: Nnedi Okorafor

The future of storytelling is here.

Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she`s suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister`s wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she`s not sure what comes next.

In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.

What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu`s life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.

Nnedi Okorafor, a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author, presents a sweeping tale about family, culture and identity, and a breathtaking examination of the relationship between writer and reader . . . and robots. Death of the Author is heartfelt, tender, and an ambitious meta-drama about what makes us human.
