I finished Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson which is a wonderfully imagined sci-fi novel which explores West African folklore through it's central character and her stories. It is quite a traumatic read in places but I love Hopkinson's world building here, particularly how it considers colonisation, and cycles of colonisation and oppression. It gave me fresh thinking on concepts of AI and how a people that had suffered generational trauma through slavery would consider physical labour and how mindsets replicate. It's an excellent novel, wonderful world building, beautifully written but very challenging and thought provoking too (like all good sci-fi should be!).
