Overview

The inheritance is not the money. The inheritance is the method. Historian Amara Okonkwo has spent her career studying the bureaucracy of atrocity. But when she is hired to catalogue the archives of the wealthy Harcourt family, she uncovers a secret that defies history: a hidden function known only as ""The Administrator."" For two hundred years, the Administrator has managed the family's transition from the Atlantic slave trade to modern high-frequency trading and data mining. The commodities have changed, but the method-processing human beings into value-has remained the same. As Amara digs deeper, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. Her brother, Chidi, is trapped in the Kafkaesque machinery of the British immigration detention system-a system she realizes is running on the very code the Harcourts wrote. Now, with the help of a reclusive housekeeper and a relentless journalist, Amara must expose the timeline before the system processes her, too. The Inheritance is a searing literary thriller that traces the bloodline of bureaucratic violence from the hull of a slave ship to the servers of the surveillance state.
