Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs.

Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti's stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach.

If Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making, she will need both the gifts of her people and the wisdom enshrined within the University, itself - but first she has to make it there, alive.

设定很潮！不论是以辛巴族为原型，浑身覆满otjize红土的的主角，还是生物形态的有机飞船，都非常吸引XD 故事大方向涉及文化种族冲突和接纳的主题，不过剧情的执行低于预期（Meduse出来以后没有开头那么有张力），另外YA感重了点，三星半。

背景设定得挺有趣，可是故事情节太简单。有几个关于种族和文化差异的点还挺触动人。

可能文明之间有代沟吧，对这种设定无感。

？？就这？？？雨果奖？？？
