I'm using Okorafor's own term for her work, #Africanfuturism. They're not quite the same thing. Read her essay for more.
This book is difficult to classify. It's an alien-tech (magic?) folktale set in near-future Ghana. It speaks of power, and death, and loneliness, and surveillance, and corporate greed, and of being a young girl who is older than her years. But it's also more than that.
