Lauren Beukes recommends
The Future (2023)
Naomi Alderman
"Playful, incisive, horribly relevant and surprisingly hopeful, The Future is a thrill ride that's also a powerful manifesto hurtling towards a world where everything might turn out to be okay. A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it's brilliant and I loved it."
Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon (2023)
Wole Talabi
"Fast and sharp as talons, Shigidi is a high-stakes art heist love story with Nigerian gods and demons and some Succession-level corporate politics and Alan Moore-ish deep dives into occult lore and mythologies. If you thought Killmonger was right or loved American Gods and Akata Witch, this one is very much for you."
The Book of the Most Precious Substance (2022)
Sara Gran
"Extravagant, sexy and compelling. I loved it."
A Luminous Republic (2020)
Andrés Barba
"A fever dream of a novel with sharp-as-knives insights; deft and cutting."
Meet Me in the Future (2019)
Kameron Hurley
"Kameron Hurley is ferociously imaginative-with an emphasis on ferocious."
Infinite Detail (2019)
Tim Maughan
"Deft and jolting as an EMP, Infinite Detail is a worryingly credible ghost story about our electronic lives."
