In a futuristic Ghana, a young girl named Sankofa wanders the countryside, bringing Death with her. While stories about her precede her, none of them are really true. Remote Control is the story of how she came went from being a malaria-stricken girl named Fatima to the deadly and sometimes-green-glowing Sankofa and the few kind people she meets along the way.
This is a short, science fiction fable that's as much about how we treat those we do not know or understand as it is about a girl's grief and confusion. Okorafor's writing is absolutely beautiful, and I'd love to see more of this world in the future.
