Noor \;by Nnedi Okorafor
\ n\nAnwu li Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her\, these initials have always s tood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt&hellip\;natural\, a nd that&rsquo\;s putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days be fore she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero s he was 'wrong'. But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the wa y the world views it\, as freakish\, unnatural\, even the work of the devi l\, AO embraces all that she is: A woman with a ton of major and necessary body augmentations. And then one day she goes to her local market and eve rything goes wrong. Once on the run\, she meets a Fulani herdsman named DN A and the race against time across the deserts of Northern Nigeria begins. In a world where all things are streamed\, everyone is watching the 'reck oning of the murderess and the terrorist' and the 'saga of the wicked woma n and mad man' unfold. This fast-paced\, relentless journey of tribe\, des tiny\, body\, and the wonderland of technology revels in the fact that the future sometimes isn&rsquo\;t so predictable. Expect the unaccepted.
