When a a disabled Nigerian-American author writes a science fiction novel about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity that becomes a global phenomenon, everything changes.

"Don't be frightened by the title, Nnedi Okorafor is fine... and doing her best work yet. Death of the Author reads like three novels in one ... or maybe four ... about fame and family, culture and change, the power of story, the writer's life... and robots. This one has it all" George R.R. Martin

"Nnedi Okorafor is so ferociously talented that we are starting to see she cannot be boxed into any category or genre ... Death of the Author, is a deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones" Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The House of Broken Angels
