PB: 272pp
Enter a world very close to our own . . .
One in which technology can allow you to explore an alternate love-life with a stranger.
Where you can experience the emotions of another person through a chip implanted in your brain.
And where you can view snippets of a distant relative's life with a little help from your DNA
But remember: these experiences will not be without consequences . . .
In this stunning debut collection, Kelechi Okafor combines the ancient and the ultramodern to explore stories of contemporary Black womanhood. Uplifting, thought-provoking, sometimes chilling, these are tales not limited by our current reality, that will lead you right up to the Edge of Here...
