What this book is about
Binti is the first of her people to be accepted at Oomza University, the finest in the galaxy. But the journey there ends in massacre, and Binti must use her mathematical gift and her Himba heritage to survive and perhaps broker peace. Okorafor's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella is beautifully compressed and culturally specific.
