I've been told I need to read more sci fi by non-white authors and looking at my shelves I think it's true and I want to try something new. But I realised I sadly couldn't think of any authors off the top of my head! Can anyone recommend anything?

The Three-body Problem trilogy and The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu (plus some fanfiction) are the obvious choice.

Recently there was a thread here about Africa-focused sci-fi but I don't remember what that genre is called...

The Three Body Problem is absolutely amazing and I can't recommend it enough.
