The day is finally upon us!
THE FIST OF MEMORY is officially out NOW in the US and Canada. This near-future story of assassins, aliens, astrophysicists and ancestors that I started 15 years ago is finally out in the world & it still feels a bit unreal.

Two giants of African futurism in one conversation.
Abdulkareem Baba-Aminu @KareemReal will discuss AI, what makes us human, memory, authorship, disability and family with Nnedi Okorafor @Nnedi (Death of the Author) and Wole Talabi @WTalabi (The Fist of Memory).

Wole Talabi is back. His second novel, The Fist of Memory, is a first-contact thriller that pairs Tope, a Nigerian assassin working for a witch doctor, with Itumeleng, a South African astronomer haunted by dreams, as an alien craft sets off a global crisis. DAW published it in the US on 27 October, Gollancz has the UK, and Masobe Books brings the West African edition on 16 November. After Shigidi took the Nommo and Ilube awards, this one is worth the wait.

All First Contact SF stories function on a significant level as mysteries. I explain how and why:

To celebrate THE FIST OF MEMORY which came out October 27 and is now available in all places where good books are sold or lent, I'll be hosting an ask-me-anything (AMA) session on Reddit. Drop by, say hi or just do as it says on the tin and ask me anything about well...anything!

For this month’s episode of Authors-on-Readers, we’ll be having Wole Talabi live with us.
He is widely recognized as one of the prominent voices in contemporary African speculative fiction and Africanfuturism.

Wole Talabi is an author whose books everyone should read at least once. I love how he melds different elements (especially Yoruba mythology) into his books. Did I mention that he wrote the best sci-fi books?
In fact, he gave me my first taste of Yoruba mythology in books.

THE BOOK OF THE DEAD (ed. @JonathanStrahan) is out! I've a story in it, 'Passengers', that I'm v proud of, following high school students on a night train through Bengal in the 90s, two of whom journey unexpectedly to the event horizon of death's country. harpercollins.com/products/t…
