Publisher's Synopsis

Enter a world very close to our own . . .

One in which technology can allow you to explore an alternate love-life with a stranger.

Where you can experience the emotions of another person through a chip implanted in your brain.

And where you can view snippets of a distant relative's life with a little help from your DNA

But remember: these experiences will not be without consequences . . .

In this stunning debut collection, Kelechi Okafor combines the ancient and the ultramodern to explore stories of contemporary Black womanhood. Uplifting, thought-provoking, sometimes chilling, these are tales not limited by our current reality, that will lead you right up to the Edge of Here...
