Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi

5.0

This is such a powerful book regardless of its length. The science fiction and dystopian elements are subtle, emphasizing the intense frustrations and injustices lived by all the characters. It's definitely not an easy read and I often found myself going back to re-read segments, but that's what makes it so powerful. You can barely see the line between what's real and what's not-plausible, because why wouldn't there be a world with microchips and superpowers when we have hatred and racism and other hideous things that shouldn't exist in the first place? This is definitely a title you want to take your time absorbing and then processing.
