 I've always been very interested in Nnedi Okorafor, but, unfortunately, my first foray into her books, Binti, was a bit of a letdown. Remote Control was my second go, and I had a much better time. Remote Control is technically set in the world of another of Okorafor's books, but the worldbuilding is still fairly well-established. Also, the writing does a good job of skirting around the larger questions, developing a story that is more about the characters than the answer of what is actually happening. There are certain things that I would appreciate clarification on, but I can mostly look past that since Okorafor does a stellar job of developing Sankofa/Fatima and her relationships.
