Peel me a Book
Nnedi Okorafor
“Science fiction is where I bend reality until it reflects the truth.”
Binti
Lagoon
Peel the Author
A Nigerian-American novelist and scholar, Nnedi Okorafor has coined the term Africanfuturism to describe her work — science fiction rooted not in Western dystopia but in African cosmology, community, and wonder. Born in Cincinnati to Igbo parents, she writes of bodies, spirits, and machines in the same breath, blending folklore and speculative science with equal conviction.
Her fiction rewires the genre’s circuitry: technology is personal, ancestors are present, and the future grows from soil, not chrome.

“I am the only one who can tell my story, and even I can barely speak it.”
Okorafor’s sentences are alive with pulse and place. She writes as though the earth itself is remembering — and forgiving — us.
