Today, we've got an absolute bomb for you! Are you a fan of Black Mirror, just like us? If so, you're gonna love the stories in Friday Black, written by the incredible Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.
In this episode, we're diving into one mind-blowing story called "The Era." Brace yourself for a dystopian society where people are divided into "clear born" -- like we are now -- or those who underwent pre-birth genetic modifications to become the so-called "ideal" humans. As you can imagine, this creates a jaw-dropping class divide, leading society to lose its grip on basic empathy.
You need to get your hands on Friday Black book!
