AfroSF is the first ever anthology of Science Fiction by African Writers only that was open to submissions from across Africa and abroad.
I\'d like the repurpose the title of an old anthropological study to describe this fine new anthology: \'African Genesis.\' The. - David Anthony Durham, Campbell Award winning author of The Acacia Trilogy.
This is SF for the Twenty-first Century.
At once familiar and disarmingly original, these stories are fascinating for the diversity of voices at play and for the unique perspective each author brings to the genre.
The stories in AfroSF feature all the things fans of Science Fiction expect: deep space travel, dystopian landscapes, alien species, totalitarian bureaucracy, military adventure, neuro-enhanced nightlife, artificial intelligence, futures both to be feared and longed for. - Jim Steel, Interzone\'s Book Reviews editor and widely published short-story writer.

Read them and you\'ll find your new favourite authors.
These stories have an energy and a vitality that is missing from much western Science Fiction today, and they\'re as varied as the continent itself.
Africa is in our future and AfroSF demonstrates that the same can be said of its authors. - Karen Burnham, Locus December 2012.
Both the stories and the authors are as diverse as any reader could wish...
Looking over this broad assortment...it\'s clear that this anthology has lived up to its ambition...highly readable and enjoyable stories that take the raw materials of Science Fiction and give them a different spin...
Although it is coming from a small press, it would be lovely if this anthology were to get some of the wider attention it deserves.
AfroSF will serve as an admirable antidote for all those who have to be reminded that Africa is a continent, not a country. - Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award winning author of Osama.
I could not recommend it enough.
