Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi

This is an angry book depicting a dystopian future based solidly on today’s racial inequities.   Only a person of color could be courageous enough to write this book. Anyone else would be vilified for racism.  On the flip side, this book is so one-sided that reverse racism could be claimed.

I had mixed feelings about the book.  It depicted a future that hopefully is grossly incorrect.  One can only hope that as a society we are improving not devolving. 

It was a thought-provoking book that was uncomfortable to read.  I would like to think better of society but the current divisiveness and open racism might feed despair. 

We, the people, across all the wide spectrum of differences need to do better.
