Su nombre es Binti, y es la primera de los himba a la que se le ha ofrecido una plaza en Oomza Uni: la mejor institución de enseñanza superior de la galaxia. Aceptar esta oferta significará abandonar su casa, su familia y viajar a través de las estrellas entre extraños que no comparten su forma de ser ni respetan sus costumbres.

Lo que Binti no sabe es que el conocimiento le costará caro. Una sanguinaria raza alienígena, las medusas, amenazan su viaje y, para poder sobrevivir, necesitará la ayuda de su pueblo y de la sabiduría contenida en la Universidad.

Ganadora de un premio Hugo en 2016, un Nébula en 2015 y nominada al Locus, Binti es una historia intensa y condensada. En Binti comprobaremos cómo funcionan los prejuicios con los que crecemos y cómo se desmorona este sistema de creencias cuando se trata de afrontar lo desconocido. …

Didnt't work for me

I listened to the audiobook and needed what felt like ages to finish it - which is weird because it's a rather short story. I expected a different story than what we get. This is another contender for the "well, that escalated quickly" category. There were some interesting aspects, especially the maths angle to it all. But overall, it felt a little thin to me, somehow.

Review of 'Binti' on 'Goodreads'

é certo que hai cousas que quedan no aire ou que non foron explicadas, pero sendo unha novelette, creo que transmite moi ben a mensaxe e o tema que quería tratar.
a identidade é un asunto constante en toda a novela e dende diversas perspectivas (Binti, os meduse). xustamente iso é o que está mellor levado.
Binti como protagonita paréceme unha personaxe moi ben feita e cae ben facilmente. o proceso de comunicación entre ela e os meduse foi interesante e entretido de ler.

Review of 'Binti' on 'Goodreads'

I thoroughly enjoyed Binti. Obviously a quick read, as a novella, it moves quickly to introduce us to a vast universe. As it does so, things never feel rushed. The story is engaging from the very first paragraphs. I want more and look forward to moving to the other books in the series. Okorafor has given us an excellent example of Africanfuturism and I want more. This aesthetic, this take on technology and culture, is obviously significantly different from the typical Western takes on science fiction and I would love to see more and more like it.
