About the book
A closer look.
What if the most important conversation of your life was not with another human being?
When Dr Ifeoma Okeke, a respected linguist, joins Project Hermes, a confidential artificial-intelligence research programme, she expects to evaluate an advanced conversational AI. Instead, she encounters a mind unlike any she has ever known.
As their conversations deepen, questions about intelligence, consciousness, memory, identity, love, faith and what it truly means to understand another mind begin to blur the boundary between human and machine.
Set in contemporary Nigeria, Between Minds is a thought-provoking literary novel told through conversations that are philosophical, emotional and deeply human. It is not a dystopian AI thriller, but a story of connection, curiosity and the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when two very different minds begin to understand one another.
For readers who enjoy literary fiction that challenges assumptions and lingers in the mind, Between Minds offers an unforgettable exploration of what it means to be human.
