Can a story change the world? Zelu has hit rock bottom. While everyone in her Nigerian family seems to have found their place in life, she has no publisher for her manuscript, no job and no hope of ever being able to walk again. She withdraws and writes a book just for herself. Rusted Robots takes us to a distant future where android robots and disembodied AIs inhabit the planet. Zelu is convinced that no one wants to read something like this - but overnight the novel becomes a huge success. Her story conquers the world, changes herself and others until she hardly recognizes them herself ... Okorafor tells the story of a woman on the fringes of society who risks everything - and of the power of storytelling to change the world. New product
