Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
The brutally engineered class divisions of Snowpiercer meets Rivers Solomon’s The Deep in this high-octane post-climate disaster novella written by Nommo Award-winning author Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Off the coast of West Africa, decades after the dangerous rise of the Atlantic Ocean, the region’s survivors live inside five partially submerged, kilometers-high towers originally created as a playground for the wealthy. Now the towers’ most affluent rule from their lofty perch at the top while the rest are crammed into the dark, fetid floors below sea level.
There are also those who were left for dead in the Atlantic, only to be reawakened by an ancient power, and who seek vengeance on those who offered them up to the waves.
Three lives within the towers are pulled to the fore of this Yekini, an earnest, mid-level rookie analyst; Tuoyo, an undersea mechanic mourning a tremendous loss; and Ngozi, an egotistical bureaucrat from the highest levels of governance. They will need to work together if there is to be any hope of a future that is worth living―for everyone.

A Senegalese Sci-Fi Film
BABA, le Gardien de ObeluS
A Obelus, une planète reculée de l'univers, vit un peuple solitaire dans un environnement rocheux dégradé par un bouleversement climatique étrange. Au coucher du soleil, un gros nuage de fumée envahie le village et rend l'air irrespirable et toxique. Ce qui pousse les habitants de Obelus à s'enfermer dans leurs noyaux hermétiques avant chaque couchée de soleil. Pour eux, la beauté de la nuit n’est qu’une légende.
Baba, un petit enfant chasseur se lie d'amitié avec Buju, un vieux clochard scientifique, sur chaise roulante. Un bon jour, le vieux Buju, disparaît mystérieusement en laissant à Baba une montre, clé d’un repère scientifique qui renferme la solution pour libérer Obelus des mains du mystérieux clan du “Bison en feu”.
Baba se fixe alors comme mission, avec Mbeuw son fidèle chien, de combattre cette puissance et défendre son peuple.
English Translation:
In Obelus, a planet away from the universe, lives a lonely people in a rocky environment degraded by a strange climate change. As the sun sets, a large cloud of smoke engulfs the village and makes it look unbreathable and toxic. What drives the inhabitants of Obelus to lock themselves in their airtight cores before every sunset. For them, the beauty of the night is just a legend.
Baba, a little hunter kid befriends Buju, an old scientific tramp, in a wheelchair. One good day, old Buju, mysteriously disappears leaving Baba a watch, key to a scientific landmark that contains the solution to free Obelus from the hands of the mysterious clan of the "Bison on Fire".
Baba then sets himself up as a mission, with Mbeuw his faithful dog, to fight this power and defend his people.
