This anthology is notable for being the first collection of science fiction by African writers and has been credited with helping to promote and legitimize African science fiction.

The anthology includes a diverse collection of stories from authors across the African continent, covering a variety of themes and settings that challenge both traditional and contemporary notions of what science fiction can be. In doing this, Hartmann has helped to showcase the depth and diversity of voices in African science fiction, providing a platform for African writers to explore speculative futures from their unique perspectives.

Hartmann is also a writer and has been published in various magazines and anthologies. He has been involved in the African speculative fiction scene for some time, and his work as a publisher and editor has been instrumental in giving a voice to new talent and promoting African speculative fiction to a wider audience.

His contributions have been important for the recognition and development of African speculative fiction, helping to challenge stereotypes and broaden the scope of what is considered “mainstream” in the genre.
