In his essay, "What Does It Mean To Look At This?", Teju Cole asks us what it means to look at scenes of violence from wars, at destroyed bodies, at distant brutality through our screens.
In Leaked Footages, Abu Bakr Saqid asks the same question. Told through a series of conversations with a cyborg, Sadiq explores the bloody history of Nigeria, including Boko Haram's kidnapping of women and senseless killing of men. Faith, nation, and technology are intertwined, as the book struggles to make meaning of it all.
