Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
5.0
challenging dark sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes

Remote Control is sad, beautifully told, and made me wonder about our reliance on technology.  Is it good or bad, because it is not going away. We as people need to consider how much we allow government and private corporations to exploit/manipulate us due to that reliance. People’s lack of connection with nature also stood out for me. The scene in the street with Robocop was very eye opening. The end left me confused because I can see how it can be interpreted in different ways.
