AfroSFv3
by Ivor W. Hartmann

Space, the astronomical wilderness that has captivated human curiosity since we first looked up at the sky. The latest installment of the AfroSF series, AfroSFv3, offers twelve visions of the future from African perspectives, ranging from space opera to cyberpunk, post-colonial narratives to biopunk. This collection invites you to take a journey into the great expanse, asking what will become of Africans in the realms beyond our planet.

Testimonials:

"The third in this pioneering series with an honour roll of some of African writing’s biggest names contributing. Unmissable." - Geoff Ryman, award-winning author.

"The compelling, graceful stories in AfroSFv3 embrace a generous spectrum of places and peoples, eras and objectives… Truly, these writers speak the same science fiction tongue as their like-minded cousins from the rest of the planet, with beautiful accents of their native soil." - Paul Di Filippo, author.

"As quality storytelling - rooted in every culture and tradition - doesn’t belong to a single country or language, these stories prove that the future does happen everywhere. Excellent reading!" - Francesco Verso, author and editor.
