Womb City

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase follows Nelah, a woman who seemingly has a perfect life, but that all changes when she is involved in a crash and decides to hide the body – life will never be the same for her.

What We Say: “Dissecting systems of oppression, Tsamaase weaves an unsettling and thought-provoking social commentary, blending African-futurist horror with a powerful exploration of oppressive governments and a woman's right to their own autonomy” - Jamie Styles

What They Say: "Masterful. . . Tsamaase has created a disturbing techno dystopia in a future Botswana that terrifies with its echoes of our own increasingly authoritarian cyber-policed world. This beautifully written work haunts and upends expectations with its resurrected ghosts and gods and ancestors of Motswana cosmology. What an accomplished debut!" - T L Huchu
