About two years in the past, I dreamt up a personality referred to as Captain Okoli. He options within the imaginary steampunk novel from which I drew snippets to start the chapters of my in any other case nonfiction e-book. Captain Okoli is revolutionary, daring, and sort; he helps the imaginary novel’s heroine, Audrey, on her globe-spanning quest.
Captain Okoli inherited his identify from Chiamaka Okoli, who was a classmate and roommate of mine whereas we pursued our grasp’s levels on the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Sadly, an sickness took Chiamaka’s life shortly after she accomplished her PhD. Captain Okoli is my tribute to her reminiscence, however my e-book lacked the house for a proof of who Chiamaka was or how Captain Okoli bought his identify. The Perimeter Institute supplied a platform in its publication Contained in the Perimeter. You could find the article—a narrative about an revolutionary, daring, and sort lady—right here.
