Mind Bending Storytelling to Start 2026: "Death of the Author" by Nnedi Okorafor

What makes us human . . . ?

Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she's suddenly kicked from her job, and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister's wedding. Come on.

Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she's not sure what comes next. In her hotel room that night, Zelu takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write something crazy and VERY unlike her other books.

A science fiction drama about robots and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes. As her new life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

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