In the heart of the universe lies an opportunity so grand it beckons Binti, a brilliant young woman of the Himba people, to dare the unimaginable: leave behind her family, her culture, and her planet to join the galaxy's apex of learning, Oomza University. Nnedi Okorafor's "Binti" is not just a journey across the stars but a deeply woven tapestry of tradition, identity, and the unyielding quest for knowledge. As the first of her people to step into this boundless realm, Binti embarks on a voyage that is as perilous as it is enlightening, carrying with her nothing but the ancient customs of her people and an unwavering spirit to navigate the cosmos. Yet, the universe is far from a welcoming expanse; it is a frontier scarred by the remnants of wars past, notably with the Meduse, a fearsome alien species harboring grievances against the very institution Binti yearns to be a part of. As Binti's path intersects with the Meduse, her journey to Oomza University becomes a harrowing quest for survival, challenging her to bridge worlds and cultures in ways she never imagined. Through Okorafor's vivid storytelling, "Binti" emerges as a beacon of hope and transformation, a testament to the power of resilience and the endless possibilities that await when we dare to dream beyond the stars.
