HostBods

What would you do if you were offered the chance to enter into the body of someone else? Would you spy? Steal? Seduce? Or would you just live more time? That’s what happens in “HostBods” by Tendai Huchu, a story set in future Zimbabwe where technology enables the “mind-body” exchange between a client and a host. But when the customer is an old wealthy man and the host a boy forced to rent his body to pay for medical care of his brother, that’s when the dark side of this innovation emerges in all its disruptive potential.

“Reading the Clouds”, on the contrary, is a rather formidable rewriting of biblical myths in future terms. What if our genesis, the entire religious mythology and even the very reality in which we live are nothing but immense simulations inside other simulations, exceptional virtual Chinese boxes created by beings so advanced that, from the height of their technological power, have fun watching civilizations born, grow and die?

The Author: Tendai Huchu’s first novel, The Hairdresser of Harare, was released in 2010 to critical acclaim, and has been translated into German, French, Italian and Spanish. His short fiction in multiple genres and nonfiction have appeared in The Manchester Review, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Gutter, Interzone, AfroSF, Wasafiri, Warscapes, The Africa Report and elsewhere. In 2013 he received a Hawthornden Fellowship and a Sacatar Fellowship. He was shortlisted for the 2014 Caine Prize. His new novel is The Maestro, The Magistrate & The Mathematician.
