Tod der Autorin
'Hier steckt alles drin.' George R.R. Martin Zelu ist am Tiefpunkt angekommen: Während in ihrer nigerianischen Familie anscheinend alle ihren Platz im Leben gefunden haben, hat sie keinen Verlag für ihr Manuskript, keinen Job und keine Hoffnung, je wieder laufen zu können. Sie zieht sich zurück und schreibt ein Buch nur für sich selbst. Rusted Robots entführt in eine ferne Zukunft, in der androide Roboter und körperlose KIs den Planeten bewohnen. Als Rusted Robots überraschend zum Bestseller wird, verändert sich nicht nur Zelus Leben, sondern auch die Welt um sie herum. Sie droht, die Kontrolle über ihre eigene Geschichte zu verlieren. Okorafor erzählt von einer Frau am Rande der Gesellschaft, die alles riskiert - und von der Macht des Erzählens die Welt zu verändern.

Binti
Binti Ekeopara Zuzu Dambu Kaipka di Namib è una ragazza di etnia Himba, talmente brava in matematica e nella tecnica dell'astrolabio da venire selezionata per frequentare la prestigiosa Oomza University. È l'occasione della vita e così, nonostante la contrarietà della sua famiglia, e le radicate tradizioni della sua terra, Binti fugge dal villaggio in cui vive e si imbarca sulla Terzo Pesce per intraprendere il viaggio interstellare verso Oomza. Ma tutto cambia quando le Meduse, feroci creature belligeranti, attaccano il veicolo che la ospita, uccidendo l'equipaggio, i passeggeri, gli altri studenti che Binti ha appena conosciuto. La giovane si trova così a doversela cavare da sola, intrappolata su un'astronave piena di esseri assassini, per cinque lunghi giorni prima di raggiungere la meta. Ma chi sono le Meduse? Binti scopre che dietro la loro storia, e la guerra che hanno scatenato contro i Khoush, si nasconde molto più di quanto non appaia. E ora una serie di compiti piuttosto gravosi le si para davanti: sopravvivere alla trasferta, proteggere gli abitanti del pianeta su cui ha sede l'ateneo; e provare a usare i propri ineguagliabili talenti per porre fine a un conflitto sanguinoso. Il volume raccoglie i romanzi brevi: "Binti", "Ritorno a casa", "La maschera della notte" e il racconto "Il fuoco sacro".
