The Binti Trilogy
Dark blue metallic endpapers
Printed metallic paper slipcase
So begins this groundbreaking tale of a young Himba woman as she leaves Planet Earth to attend a prestigious intergalactic university. A vibrant space opera slash bildungsroman, The Binti Trilogy traces the pains of coming of age against the very real threats of deep-rooted interspecies tensions. But this is also a story of rich human – and alien – experience: friendship, family, first love, and the quest for identity.
This first-ever illustrated omnibus is housed in a shimmering slipcase decorated with nebulas, planets and stars. The book includes seven illustrations by fine artist David Palumbo, in a palette of rich blues, purples and reds, featuring a cast of characters including our heroine Binti, the jellyfish-like Meduse, and the living spaceship Third Fish.
Across three novellas, Nnedi Okorafor blends Africanfuturism, myth and hard sci-fi in a tale of transformation, trauma and triumph. Binti’s journey is both sweeping and deeply personal – a story about leaving, returning, and reshaping who you are along the way. At its heart is a young woman who must bridge cultures, species and expectations to find her own path among the stars.
From the red sands of Earth to the cold steel of starships, this trilogy is a fresh, fierce and fearless reimagining of science fiction – one that asks not just what it means to survive, but what it means to belong.
