3.0
Africanfuturism is a term created by Nnedi Okorafor to describe science fiction rooted in the African world. Africanfuturism: An Anthology edited by Wole Talabi is the first anthology to directly engage with the idea of Africanfuturism. The collection is free and contains 8 science fiction stories that picture various aspects of African life.
As a whole, the anthology is uneven. Most anthologies are. I liked Nnedi Okorafor's charming Sunrise and Diman Dila's Yat Madit most.
Even though it's not perfect, it's free and quick to read (112 pages). It'll also broaden your reading horizons.
