However, if you like stories about artistic robot Zombies, you're in for a treat. Check out her website here. Learn more about her work. And here's a link to her 2017 TED Talk on Nigerian Science Fiction. Here's a link to information about Ududo Okwanka, the Igbo Spider-Creator.
Read this story for Thursday, November 9. Be prepared for discussion.
