Science Fiction and the 21st Century
Science and technology are progressing at a rapid pace, and the role of science fiction literature in charting a course and helping to imagine future technology will always hold true.
Love in Colour by Bolu Babalola
A collection of short love stories, Love in Colour is what I like to call a genuine reading experience. The book is split into two parts; old and new tales, with the old tales being retellings of age-old myths and romances, and the new ones being Babalola’s own creations.
Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Can a female character really be a heroine if life hasn’t fucked her sideways (often in the form of sexual abuse) to shape her up?
In Every Mirror She’s Black by Lola Akinmade Åkerström
Unfortunately for Kemi, her worst fears were confirmed. She was only a redundant body in a ceremonial role. Jonny poached Kemi for her skin color to represent diversity in a predominantly white company. It wasn’t for her brilliance; neither was it for her experience. It was for her skin color.
Rebel’s Creed (Lawful Times #2) by Daniel Greene
The book hits over and over with great character moments, stellar world building, and plot moments that had me enraptured. I expect Greene’s work in the series to only get bigger and better
Euphoria Season Two Review: HBO’s Exceptionally Deranged Hit Show
Maybe if Sam Levinson accepted input from other writers and stopped treating the show like his baby, Euphoria season two would have been brilliant.
Wahala by Nikki May
I haven’t lived in London before, but I’m not sure that Africans in London who are almost working-class or working-class by association can afford to eat from the buka every week and also afford takeouts as huge as what Ronke always did.
