The future of storytelling is here. Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she is suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected—in the middle of her sister’s wedding—her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed, and from a nosy, high‑achieving, judgmental family, she isn’t 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 unlike any she has written before—a science‑fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. Everything changes.
What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world and another. 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, reader… and robots. *Death of the Author* is heartfelt, tender, and an ambitious meta‑drama about what makes us human.
