About this listen
2021 Time Magazine Best Books of the Year
2021 NYPL Best Books of the Year
An alien artifact turns a young girl into Death's adopted daughter in Remote Control, a thrilling sci-fi tale of community and female empowerment from Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Nnedi Okorafor
Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award
"Narrator Adjoa Andoh captivates listeners with a stunning new sci-fi novella set in a near-future Ghana. Andoh is perfectly in tune with Okorafor's compelling story, smoothly switching between her British accent as the narrator and the intonations of the vibrant characters she brings to life." (AudioFile magazine)
“She’s the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own.”
The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she would be known as Sankofa - a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past.
Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks - alone, except for her fox companion - searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers.
But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion?

Remote Control
I wonderful listen, full of compassion as the narrator and subject of the story Sankofa learns about discrimination and isolation as she come to terms with the powers that empower her towards survival and self exception.

Another brilliant story no Okorafor!
I have yet to read a novel, novella or short story written by Okorafor. The worlds and characters she create are so believable, relatable, likeable, despicable, etc. More importantly, she is able to write so seamlessly about the present while telling a story about the future.
And the narrator, Andoh, is brilliant. She is one of my favourite narrators.
