Dissent, disease, disaster: introducing Disruption, a short story collection from new and emerging African writers, many for the first time on North American shelves. Spanning genres, eras, and the African continent, from Libya, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, South Africa, Zambia, Uganda and beyond, these 21 futuristic, evocative stories on the theme of disruption bring a distinctive African flavor to the global issues haunting our newsfeeds and harassing our dreams: climate change, pandemics, social upheaval, surveillance, and more.
