In Convergence Problems, will need to lobby examines a future where climate catastrophe has happened. Almost every story holds a thread of grief, loss, transition, and Hope.
I enjoyed that the author played with narrative style and a couple of the stories: One is a chat post with replies one is a patent application and one breaks up a traditional Nigerian folktale with a corollary in the future present.
I also appreciated the author notes at the end of the book for each of the short stories. I found them fascinating, because they gave a glimpse into the author's writing process.
I'm definitely going to be picking up a copy for myself because I will be revisiting some of these stories.
People who like afrofuturism, Black speculative fiction are probably going to like this book.
Thank you Net Galley and Daw books for my advanced reader copy.
