Indigenous Futurism Award Winner, Weyodi OldBear uses her skills as an RPG game developer, her skills at building new worlds, and her skills in solution seeking gained by being an Indigenous woman in North America, to create a fascinating dystopian future unlike anything you've imagined, yet a world that seems oddly familiar just the same, a search for family and safety begins an epic journey spanning generations.
Join Marjorie Morningstar, her family and a cast of unforgettable characters grappling with not just relatable problems we have all faced, but also solutions and problems many of us have never imagined: like discovering that you're a science experiment, finding out your employer stole your eggs and fertilized them with your co-workers sperm, escaping and being on the run from a corporate army (populated by clones of your stolen children) in a corporate police state and finding out a daughter you didn't know you had is now also on the run with the anonymous hacker who helped you escape- Sometimes “normal” is a foreign concept.
(And that’s just the beginning of this incredible story.)
About the author:
Weyodi OldBear is a member of the Comanche Nation who specializes in Indigenous Futurism. Her ability to combine historical fact, a deep understanding of current events, political savvy, her own life experiences, the generational trauma her family has endured, as well as the generational wisdom and knowledge, and the rich culture to which she belongs when creating worlds that are realistic, could truly happen given technology that already exists, and political settings that are constantly changing.
