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?

I have a book called Sinopticon which primarily consists of science fiction stories by woman from China. So far they have been very different from anything else I've read as they often completely abandon any kind of tropes.

Different good/interesting? Or different and difficult to read and you're not so sure?

They are good and interesting in my opinion. I haven't finished all of the short stories yet though, but I can't imagine the rest of them would be bad.

Sounds really interesting and unique. Will definitely give it a go.
