Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor's science fiction The Book of Phoenix portrays a dystopian survival scenario.Biopower dominated by neoliberal biotechnology industry imposes physical exploitation and subject discipline on Black posthuman,turning them into"docile bodies"and"submissive subjects".Thus,the novel reveals that the neoliberal biopolitics is intertwined with racism,presenting a dimension of necropolitics that takes the lives of marginal groups.At the same time,the novel also endows the Black posthuman group with the influential power to resist the hegemony of biopolitics and to seek self-redemption,which addresses Okorafor's appeal for technological justice and her concerns for the life rights of marginal groups.
