It’s 2118 and you’ve arrived in Lagos for a book festival. When you step out of the airport, what is the first thing you see?<\/b><\/p>\n
Okada Airbikes landing like giant grasshoppers to ferry the visitors to five star Makoko hotels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You’ve been selected for a mission to the moon. Which African author are you taking and why?<\/b><\/p>\n Nnedi Okorafor, to see how right she was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What invention do you think would change the lives of Africans today?<\/b><\/p>\n A universal real-time bullshit translator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two things you\u2019re doing when not reading or writing?<\/b><\/p>\n Playing basketball badly and bingeing on Netflix – nothing groundbreaking here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To what extent has African literature envisioned an African future?<\/b><\/p>\n There is much work to be done here.

We haven\u2019t imagined enough futures yet, but we are beginning to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What book do you think best captures Afrofuturism?<\/b><\/p>\n
