Afrofuturism and speculative fiction are more than genres—they are acts of imagination and liberation. Writers like Octavia Butler, N.K. Jemisin, and Tade Thompson reimagine worlds where Blackness isn’t marginalized but empowered, central, and visionary.
By centering Black authors in these genres, we give readers—especially young readers—the freedom to imagine futures where they belong, lead, and thrive.
