Death of the Author – A Bold, Metafictional Masterpiece by Nnedi Okorafor
📖🤖 A Writer’s Rise to Fame, the Power of Storytelling, and the Future of Humanity 🤖📖
From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor comes Death of the Author, a genre-defying novel that blends metafiction, speculative sci-fi, and razor-sharp social commentary.
✨ A writer’s dream turns into a battle for control.
📚 Zelu, a disabled Nigerian American woman, has always felt like the outcast of her family, more interested in storytelling than convention. When she’s fired from her university job and another publisher rejects her work, she writes for herself—and creates Rusted Robots, a far-future sci-fi epic where AI and androids battle in the ruins of human civilization.
🚀 What happens when a book takes on a life of its own?
Zelu’s novel catapults her to literary stardom, but as her fame rises, she begins to lose control of her own narrative. From Chicago to Lagos to deep space, Death of the Author explores the intersection of identity, art, and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology.
🔥 "Her best work yet... This one has it all." – George R.R. Martin
📖 Perfect for fans of Yellowface, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and genre-blending literary fiction! 📖
