I’m sad to admit I hadn’t heard of the work of Nnedi Okorafor until I was browsing Barnes and Noble one day and came across one of her novellas titled, “Binti.” I was drawn to the cover, since suffice to say, the “science fiction” section of Barnes and Noble is not the most diverse in terms of protagonists, let alone female protagonists, who for the most part fall under the “Katniss Everdeen”-demographic. I also had to pick up the novella based on the back cover, since it’s practically made for college students, who surely all looked at their future schools with the same amount of uncertainty and insecurity as the protagonist. Overall, I’m really looking forward to reading this novella, and hope to do a follow-up reaction soon.
