(get book :authors) is saying "return the value of the ":authors" key in
the "book" map. You provided {:title... :authors [octavia]} as the "book"
map, the value of "authors" being a vector with a single element. That
single element being "{:name "Octavia E. Butler"
:birth-year 1947
:death-year 2006}"
In other words, it is all working correctly.
Did you mean (old-book->new-book {:title "Wild Seed", :authors (:name
octavia)}) ?
