The Last King of the Twentieth Century

This isn't a memoir. It's a memory gospel.

NiKO SekoYa—Detroit-born, neurodivergent, and battle-scarred—was never supposed to make it. He was told to sit still, shut up, mask harder. Instead, he wrote it all down.

The Last King of the 20th Century is a lyrical rebellion against erasure, a stitched-up crown made of trauma, basement smoke, back-of-the-classroom jokes, and glitch-level memory.

This is the coming-of-age story they don't put on TV.

It's neurodivergent testimony set to a sacred beat—funny, furious, ritual-rich, and stunningly mostly true.
