Just Out of Jupiter’s Reach | Nnedi Okorafor

1 post | 2 read

A revolutionary experiment in space opens a woman’s eyes to the meaning of solitude in a thought-provoking short story by New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor.
Tornado Onwubiko is one of seven people on Earth paired with sentient ships to explore and research the cosmos for twenty million euros. A decade of solitary life for a lifetime of wealth. Five years into the ten-year mission of total isolation comes a consolation: a temporary meetup among fellow travelers. A lot can happen in a week. For Tornado, who left a normal life behind, a little company can be life-changing.
Nnedi Okorafor’s Just Out of Jupiter’s Reach is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

Just Out of Jupiter’s Reach | Nnedi Okorafor

so-so

The world building in this is interesting- the organic ships were a highlight. There was a lack of action that made sense, but still flattened the story. The sense of isolation Okorafor tries to create also seems a bunch contrived and scientifically counterproductive in my opinion.
