Description
In this fast-paced science fiction novel set in a near-future Nigeria, AO—an Artificial Organism—navigates a world transformed by biotechnology and environmental catastrophe, including the devastating Red Eye sandstorm that threatens all life in its path. When first contact with an alien presence arrives off the shores of Lagos, AO finds herself at the center of an extraordinary encounter that challenges everything she understands about humanity, identity, and destiny. Nnedi Okorafor weaves together intense action and thoughtful exploration of what it means to be alive in a world where the boundaries between human and artificial, natural and engineered, have become dangerously blurred. This compelling narrative examines themes of belonging, purpose, and survival while delivering a uniquely imaginative vision of Africa's technological future.

I enjoyed the second half much more than the first half. A good book even if it was slow to catch me
AO is no binti and noor is mid at best. i felt a complete disconnect with the story and characters from the get go and never felt like i was exposed to the raw emotions that make okorafor’s stories so impactful. it felt like a mathematical equation, step by step description rather than a spiraling descent into the universes okorafor weaves.
