This panoramic (but short) novel of modern Lagos is thrilling and hopeful. The arrival of aliens throws the city into chaos, which is depicted from a multitude of viewpoints both human and nonhuman. To Okorafor, Lagos is a place of great possibilities, and she makes us see that. I strongly recommend the audio version, read by Ben Onwukwe and the extraordinary Adjoa Andoh.
