Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson is a richly imaginative science fiction novel set in a dual world of Caribbean-inspired future societies. The story follows Tan-Tan, a young girl who lives on the planet Toussaint, where technology is controlled by a sentient AI called Granny Nanny. After a crime committed by her father, Antonio, they flee to a parallel dimension known as the “New Half-Way Tree” a harsh world inhabited by outcasts and alien creatures. As Tan-Tan grows up in this environment, she takes on the mantle of the “Midnight Robber,” a legendary figure from Caribbean folklore, as she battles for survival, grapples with trauma, and seeks justice.
