This is a story unlike anything you've read before.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe future of storytelling is here. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister's lavish Caribbean wedding, she's unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It's a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it \u003cem\u003eRusted Robots.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey--one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu's novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, \u003cem\u003eDeath of the Author \u003c\/em\u003eis a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of \u003cem\u003eYellowface\u003c\/em\u003e with the heartfelt humanity of \u003cem\u003eTomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow\u003c\/em\u003e.
