What I loved
Much like Dr. Okorafor's other novellas, this one starts off with a bang and then doesn't let up. The characters are phenomenally written and it was impossible to not root for them and hope that everything would be OK. AO and DNA go through so much here just trying to stay alive.
A lot of the science and tech went over my head, but I still felt like I was able to enjoy the story and the topics it was exploring.
