Writer E.C. Osondu uses sci-fi to explore alien encounters 

The World

In his new collection of short stories "Alien Stories," writer E.C. Osondu uses science fiction to explore the many meanings of what it is to be an alien — including the ways that immigrants are treated as extraterrestrials; how colonialism can feel like a spaceship coming to kill or exploit; and how to reach across humanity despite bias and cultural difference. Osondu shares his story and his inspiration with The World's Marco Werman.
