About
“Convergence Problems” is a new short story collection from award-winning, Nigerian author Wole Talabi.
Containing brand-new stories, rewrites of early work, and a few previously published pieces, Wole Talabi's new collection, “Convergence Problems”, consists of sixteen short stories and one previously unseen novella. All of the stories in this collection are set in, or relate to, Africa and investigate the rapidly changing role of technology in our lives as we search for meaning, for knowledge, for justice; constantly converging to our future selves.
In Lagos, Nigeria, a roadside mechanic volunteers to undergo a procedure that will increase the electrical conductivity of his skin by orders of magnitude. On Mars, a woman races against time and a previously undocumented geological phenomenon to save her brother. In Nairobi, a tech support engineer tries to understand what is happening when an AI system begins malfunctioning in ways that could change the world.
