Description
Proposition 23 nominated for the 2013 BSFA Awards
Efe Tobunko's novella is a mix of William Gibson's Neuromancer and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World focusing on the relationship between what it means to be a citizen and a person. In a future Lagos, dark capital city of Nigeria, three-quarters of the population is considered expendable, and the very word "person" has gradually faded away from its original sense and use.
Only citizens may survive.
Only a radical solution may apply.
The author: Efe Tokunbo is a Nigerian-British writer of science fiction and poetry. He has worked a variety of jobs in his life ranging from bicycle delivery person to hospitality staff to English Language Teacher to Copy Editor at a national newspaper to hustling the streets, selling healthy natural food and other holistic products.
