Would I recommend you read it? Not really. Should you wish to investigate her claims on your own go ahead, it's available on Amazon. But, unless you like biblically structured storytelling it is very dry and uninteresting to read. The book is broken up into several sections a film treatment, a prose narrative (the point where I dnf'ed it that's more biblical structured), and photocopies of court documents. None of which proves her claims that the Wachowski Sisters ever copied her work. Attached below I have proved a link to both the Black Excellence and LA Times write up of her claims. Both articles debunk the common misconceptions about her story.
There are many people, especially Black people, who wanted the story to be true. It symbolized a Black person, especially a Black woman, finally winning against the system.
...
But the story is not true. Sophia Stewart did not become the richest Black person in the country. But that did not deter her from going on several shows and publications to tell her story.
...
The conspiracy might always float around the internet as all conspiracies do, but this is an easy one to terminate.
