This will include questions and answers for you in the audience to find out about what you want to know.

Femi grew up in Peckham and went on to study quantum physics at Oxford University. Merging the world of quantum physics with his real-world experiences of growing up in Peckham resulted in The Upper World.

The book tackles themes of free will and time travel as it tells the story of Esso, who discovers his ability to see into the future and becomes preoccupied by the vision of a bullet headed his way – the very same one that, a generation into the future, is set to change Rhia’s life too.

An absolutely incredible read that Netflix is already adapting into a film, starring Academy Award winning actor, Daniel Kaluuya!
