Genre guide
Who gets to speak inside a myth?
Give inherited myths to the people their dominant versions silence, subordinate, or turn into symbols. Eight retellings shift viewpoint across Greek and Roman stories, moving between households, divine power, war, and punishment. The route is comparative, not ancient chronology.

Nnedi Okorafor: the border travels with you
Cross future landscapes, an alien arrival, Binti’s departures and returns, and the Akata books’ hidden knowledge. This route follows negotiation across bodies and communities while keeping each selected series in order. Remote Control closes on a different kind of outsider.

N. K. Jemisin: who gets to be a god?
Cross divine captivity, dream economies, geological oppression, and living cities. Four distinct settings make a route through power that claims to be natural or sacred. Each series stays ordered; the connections between them are thematic, not a shared-universe claim.
