Binti

I am quickly becoming a fan of African sci-fi. Binti explores the ideas of alienation and difference with a very authentic voice - being different lets you approach problems from a different angle, and can ultimately lead to different solutions. As N.K Jemisin points out in her introduction Binti's differences are highlighted right from the start, but from an interesting perspective that is often lost on those of us with a different cultural upbringing.

This is a refreshing tale, highlighting the importance of communication and cultural respect. It feels very apt for the times.
