Because there will be lots of screaming.įind Remote Control on Goodreads, Amazon, Indiebound, & The Book Depository. There’s so much more I want to talk about, especially about the last third, but I’ll wait for you to scream into my DMs. We walk along paths with mistakes, gifts, curses, and things we never meant, but happen anyway. Our journey often takes us on detours, but the past will always have its reckoning. A love which was only sealed by this explosive ending.
Is Sankofa seen as mercy, a fail safe, or even a weapon? What part of her resides in her powers? And what future does she have? As I kept reading Remote Control, I fell even more in love. Those moments of powers and actions we cannot control that end up destroying our lives, leaving those moments of the past behind. Hugo Award winner Nnedi Okorafor is no stranger to the novella her Binti trilogy is a laudable (and much lauded) example of how freeing the form can be. The idea of death coming to call, but, of course, people will never understand that she is a force of mercy, not cruelty. In this futuristic setting, Sankofa is an intriguing narrator. The novella Remote Control (2021) follows the quest of a girl in Ghana who is trying to find out how and why she has become the adopted daughter of Death. Nnedi Okorafor An alien artifact turns a young girl into Deaths adopted daughter in Remote Control, a thrilling sci-fi tale of community and female empowerment from Nebula and Hugo. At the same time it’s about so much more: a confused girl who is feared, what it’s like to be turned into a legacy, and not fitting into our world. Remote Control is a fascinating SF novella about what it would be like to be unable to use technology is a technology driven world.
