Yes, good, ok. I wanted something else by Okorafor but my library didn't have it, so I picked one of her older titles at random and IT WAS V GOOD.
It's The Future and Things Are Different (yesssss) and there's some frame narrative that I won't get into but then there's Phoenix, living in an experimental tower with other experimental people who all have Powers because they have been Created by Probably Evil Scientists, and then her lover sees something horrible and commits suicide and she is like ROWR *frees everyone from tower with help of man who can walk through walls, bursts into flames, burns tower to the M F GROUND*
And then she reconstitutes (like a phoenix, duh) and she and a couple of friends set out to bring down the other experimental towers scattered throughout the world. It's pretty badass.
Strong, capable writing and fierce ladycharacters.
