Incomplete Solutions (The Harvester Series Book 4) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

An elderly woman in early 22nd century Lagos is called in to help test the artificial intelligence built from her genius mother’s mind, but all is not as it seems in the Nommo-award winning story, “The Regression Test”.

Exiled from Earth for a crime of passion, a young man must learn to survive a barely habitable prison planet and come to peace with his past in “Polaris”.

“Wednesday’s Story”, nominated for the 2018 Caine Prize, is at once a retelling of nursery rhymes and folklore and a meta-fictional meditation on the mechanics, art and power of storytelling.

In the novella “Incompleteness Theories”, an international team, led by a Nigerian physicist, try to invent teleportation technology with haunting, unforeseen results.

From the bustling streets of Lagos to the icy moons of Jupiter, this debut collection of twenty stories from the vivid imagination of the award-winning Wole Talabi explores what it means to be human in a world of accelerating technology, diverse beliefs, and unlimited potential, from a uniquely Nigerian perspective.

Review

'These are amazing narratives which show assiduous reflection on science, emotion, mysticism and philosophy. With such careful consideration, impeccable science and interesting characters, each story is prose that gently tickles the forebrain. Recommended.' Tade Thompson, Nommo Award-Winning Author of Rosewater and The Murders Of Molly Southbourne

'Fierce and urgent - a remarkable new voice.' Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City and The Shining Girls

'Wole Talabi mixes literary skill with speculative SF abilities to make him one of the spearheads of the African revolution in speculative writing.' Geoff Ryman, Nebula Award-Winning Author of The Child Garden, Was, and Air

'A wonderfully eclectic showpiece of hard science fiction and fascinating speculation. The stories in this collection will blow your mind.' Tendai Huchu, Author of The Hairdresser of Harare and The Maestro, The Magistrate & The Mathematician

About the Author

Dele Ogundiran is an entertainment professional of Nigerian lineage whose multifaceted talent shines both on and off screen. As a performer, Dele most recently played a recurring guest star role on a soon-to-be announced show for Amazon. Prior to this, she has played diverse recurring roles, from an upscale magazine editor on ABC's comedy series Ugly Betty to a brassy but endearing addict on Showtime's hit drama series Ray Donovan. Since closing on a successful run in the West Coast premiere of the stage play Her Portmanteau (written by Mfoniso Udofia and directed by Gregg T. Daniel) at Boston Court Pasadena in the summer of 2018, Dele made her stand-up comedy debut at the world famous Ice House Comedy Club, wrapped on the feature film The Infiltrators (directed by Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibara, 2019 Sundance Film Festival Premiere-Audience Award and NEXT Innovator Prize), and guest starred on NCIS and Grey's Anatomy. A shortlist of her other television and film credits include Wisdom of the Crowd, Anger Management, Brothers & Sisters, Children's Hospital, He's Just Not That Into You, Maniac, and Silent But Deadly. Her stage appearances include roles in Our Lady of 121st Street, Balm In Gilead, and Joe Turner's Come and Gone, and her voice can be heard in the video games World of Warcraft and Dead Rising. Her credits as an audiobook narrator include Black Sunday by Tola Rotimi Abraham and Finding Love Again by Chioma Inwu Ibiam. Dele's beauty has been captured in national and international commercials and print campaigns for well-known brands including Allstate, IBM, Ford, Dark & Lovely, and McDonald's. As writer and award-winning producer, under her production company, Apphia Productions, Dele starred in, produced and cowrote her company's first film, Bathroom Vanities, which has screened at festivals worldwide. She also produced the award-winning short film The Encounter (Best Short Award, White Sands International Film Festival award). The award-winning feature film Elevate, which is her feature film debut as a producer, made its premiere at the tenth annual Downtown LA Film Festival in fall 2018. Most recently, Dele was the director of photography and producer on Casualty of Time (2020 Veterans Award, The Cinematic Arts Redemptive Entertainment (CARE) Awards) written and directed by Jeremiah Jahi. She is also editing her directorial debut, the short film Last Supper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh View on Science Fiction.

I love to explore SF from other countries, as it brings a real freshness to the genre, and to what you are used to, as a British reader.
Talabi is very inventive, very honest and manages to give you a real sense of Africa, even if you have not visited the countries in the stories. It's the knowledge of his own culture that makes the story so realistic and compelling.
I'd certainly recommend it.
