About this listen

Kabu kabu - unregistered, illegal Nigerian taxis - generally get you where you need to go. Nnedi Okorafor's Kabu Kabu, however, takes the listener to exciting, fantastic, magical, occasionally dangerous, and always imaginative locations you didn't know you needed.

This debut short-story collection by an award-winning author includes notable previously published material, a new novella cowritten with New York Times best-selling author Alan Dean Foster, six additional original stories, and a brief foreword by Whoopi Goldberg.

This series of short stories made me laugh and cry. I love how Nnedi offers so many perspectives and as a female lover of sci-fi it was so refreshing to hear authentic women in this genre.

Funny, powerful and generally wonderful

I occasionally dabble into sci-fi.
I was intrigued by this collection of Africa-themed sci-fi
short stories written by a young female author.

I was not disappointed.

There was never a dull moment. Every story moved
rhythmically and pulsated with emotion and imagination.

It moved me. It stirred me. It made me feel alive!

The perfect cocktail of Afrocentric sci-fi stories
